fixcredit1 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Do newspapers publish bankruptcies? I know some people who have filed bankruptcy, and they did not get published in our local paper. But I am still wondering anyway. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I've seen BK's published, but it was a "notice to creditors" initiated by the person filing.They are "public record", but I would imagine a newspaper has more important stories to cover than assigning an employee to do nothing but print peoples' financial affairs.

bingo Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 It depends on the paper. My local paper publishes Chapter 11 filings {business bk's} and sales tax leins in real tiny type on one of the inside pages of the Sunday business section. Ya gotta be nosey like me to even look for 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jq26 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I see weddings / divorces and tax liens in my paper, but no BKs. My lawyer told me that some papers still do it, but its become less common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Yeh, weddings are usually called in by the families... well... maybe divorces too in some cases... it would be in very poor taste for a newspaper to just print divorces simply because they're public record. The 2 notices to creditors I read in the CDAPress are regarding deceased individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jq26 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 sort of off topic, but I think they do list divorces. They just have a list of the address and the folks getting divorced. Its strange and something I wouldn't want public but its there nonetheless. As far as BK, my lawyer told me that publishing them is a hod over of the days of public shame following a BK. Few newspapers stil pblish them. The good news is they are always buried in the barely ever read public notice section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Of course now that's it's being brought up here, everyone's going to be looking for those little sections "just to see". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocPC Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hmmmm, I get the press every day and the public notices are on the 2nd page of the local section. It includes BK, divorces marriages, crime report, warrants, etc.None of it is buried.Come to think of it, I haven't seen a BK for a couple weeks now.
