Can anyone please help me find my free bankruptcy records online? Thank you for your help.

Hello jb:

Google the name of the bankruptcy court and go to their website. IF they have records available online, they should tell you how to access them. However, I'll bet they're not available online.

As noted check out the actual web site of the Federal court where the bankruptcy happened.

But often they charge a small fee now adays.

Also you can go to the court and get a copy also

The only way to get your bankruptcy records is to call your attorney and see if he/she keeps copies. Most of the time they do not have them if it has been a while. The Court House does not keep copies either. I found mine at Retreive Official Copies of Your Personal or Corporate Bankruptcy Records they were not free but very low cost and received them fast. Hope this helps!

I hope this anwer isn't too late. You can not get any bankruptcy records for free. The reason it's not free, there's fee's to access the government database. Even attorneys have to pay this fee.

If you didn't file pro se, your attorney might have it. However, my attorney charges $50 for a copy of a full petition. He didn't have my file anyway, lost.

I do go online to order a copy of bankruptcy records. Very personable. I got my docs the same day online.

Anyway, I hope this answers your question.

Thank you all for this information. Im a single parent being garnished by Ed and a past landlord. And I'm trying to stop the landlord, because the state of Alabama will garnish up to 25% and Ed is garnishing 15% of my pay. I filed Chapter 7 in 2001. Hopefully I will be able to re-file again before...

You cannot discharge ANY educational loan from the government in any bankruptcy proceeding.

You can get a copy of your case if you go to the Bankruptcy Court where your case is filed. There may be a fee. In addition, there is a way to access your records electronically, but again there would be a fee: here is where you would go to sign up: https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov/cgi...court_id=00pcl

As for fecajohnson, you can refile a chapter 7 case every 8 years. I would check to make sure the last case was filed more than 8 years ago and then you would be free to proceed, assuming you can meet other requirements.

I've come to this question because I'm also looking for my bankruptcy records. I contacted the clerk of court where it occurred (probably the best place to look, even if it's not free). I am not able to get my ch 7 records online, but this was North Carolina. It might be different in different states, but you'll have to contact them to find out.

jakedraper · Oct 31, 2010, 11:23 AM

sha_angelico, your records are not online or at the courts because it's archived. They actually, take your case out of the database and send the hard copies to the federal records center or national archives. There are a few locations throughout the US. And yours is probably archived in the Georgia facility. Must bankruptcy retrieval services can research and retrieve them. However, since pulling archived records are very expensive (government ain't cheap!), it does cost extra money for research and retrieve. Order archived bankruptcy court records from all U.S. States. Have a great day.
