Will Everyone Know That I Filed For Bankruptcy?

A. A bankruptcy is a matter of public record. However there are so many filings each year that unless someone is specifically trying to find information on you, it is not likely that anyone will even know you filed.

More likely than not, the only people who will know about a filing are your creditors and the people you tell. We recommend that you be careful who you tell that you have filed bankruptcy, as it is just good gossip for some people. So, if you do not want everyone to know that you have filed for bankruptcy, you need to keep it to yourself.
