It depends on where you live. The paper I work for puts them in the paper and I know others do too.

In the UK, filing for BK is an ACT of bankruptcy. Such a filing would be a public record if you knew where it was made.

If you are totally desperate, and you have no assets to protect, you can file bankruptcy pro se. Many have done this.\n\nIt's harder now under the George W. Bush-sponsored 2005 Bankruptcy Code amendments. But it can be done. There is help online, especially at the newsgroup alt.bankruptcy http://groups.google.com/group/alt.bankruptcy?lnk=sg&hl=en\n(You need to register with Google. Set up a new Yahoo! or Hotmail account for that, otherwise you'll be bombarded with spam once  your real e-mail address gets online.)\n\nYou need to go through CREDIT COUNSELING first. There is a list of approved agencies, some online. Some of them -- perhaps most -- will waive their fee for really indigent people.\n\nYou CANNOT FILE until you have had that "counseling". It's a waste of time, of course, but it's part of Bush's law -- and the credit card companies bribed Congress to pass it with $40 million in campaign contributions (it didn't help the Republicans win, but it did get them the law they wanted). http://www.usdoj.gov/ust/bapcpa/ccde/cc_approved.htm (list of approved counseling agencies) \n\nSo all you'll need is money for the forms (you can hire a forms-filler person, but really you can do them yourself) and the filing fee ($299 for Chapter 7). Or (best of all) use Blumberg.com http://www.blumberg.com/ -- you may be able to do it for $50 online, although I'm not sure how that Web site works and don't have the time right now to figure it out. (I know the company's other forms very well.)\n\nI suggest you get the Nolo Press book on bankruptcy: http://www.nolo.com -- perhaps your public library has it, or maybe you can get it even cheaper on eBay -- but Nolo is very good for do-it-yourself lawyering.\n\nThere is other free legal help, but really bankruptcy isn't difficult when you have no assets (home, car, valuables) to protect. You get certain exemptions, depending what state you live in. Some states (Florida, Texas ...) are generous; others (Ohio, Illinois ...) not. But when you have nothing, it doesn't matter. Once you get a discharge, you will use debit cards. \n\nOpen an account with a bank where you have no loans or credit cards, and have only a few dollars in it when you file. And make sure you have no money in any bank you have loans or cards with because they will take that money -- even your unemployment check -- as an offset to your debt.\n\nVisit the bankruptcy court. Sit in on some sessions, talk to people there. Even lawyers if you like and if they have time. Also sit in on some "341" meetings of creditors where the bankrutpcy trustee interviews the debtors. You will be less apprehensive if you are familiar with what's going on.\n\nGood luck.

Yes but dont go out and look for one on the net...most of them are trash....instead try looking for local companies that need forms filled and such...like insurance companies, law offices, etc.

Where an eligible defendant is convicted after a trial or plea of guilty and fails to file a timely notice of appeal, in some states a petition for permission to file a belated notice of appeal for appeal of the conviction may be filed with the trial court.  However, there are caveats: the failure to file a timely notice of appeal was not due to the fault of the defendant; and the defendant has been diligent in requesting permission to file a belated notice of appeal.

In short, yes.  They are basically a legal filing, and as such, are recorded and can be retrieved.\n\nTake a look at all the sites that can find bankruptcy records, \n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLR,GGLR:2005-49,GGLR:en&q=BANKRUPTCY+RECORDS+PUBLIC

It is possible for one person to file more than five bankruptcy petitions.  The questions is whether the Debtor who does so will receive a discharge in each case.  That will depend on the chapter, the amount of time that intervenes between the filings, and how the prior cases are resolved (dismissed, discharged, pending, etc.)  \n\nThe rules state in an earlier answer are obsolete for cases filed after the effective dates of the 2005 bankruptcy reform act (October 17, 2005 for most changes).  The waiting period is now 8 years for filing a second Chapter 7.  Also there are numerous new limitations on the effect of a subsequent Chapter 13.  If you are considering a second bankruptcy, set an appointment with a bankruptcy attorney.

Was your bankruptcy a no-asset case?  If so, you might not have to worry.  In some jurisdictions, the courts will consider all debt discharged even if it was unintentionally left off the creditor list.  \n\nDo you still have your papers from your bankruptcy?  If so, dig out the letter that tells the date and time of the meeting of the creditors and mail a copy to the creditor.  It might be all that is needed to take care of the matter.

As of October 2005 you can no longer file bankruptcy on any credit cards and that is in every state as far as I know. I know Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio for sure but I think it may include all 50 states. It was in the news and most backruptcy lawyers have  a copy of the newpaper article in their offices. Yes it is true you can file on hospital bills, autos, or anything you owe on except credit cards.
