There are a number of bankruptcy databases available. However the most important is the Pacer bankruptcy database which is the one that is used by the federal courts. Access to this database can be made via the Internet after paying a fee. Attorneys use this database every day in order to file client's bankruptcies.
Attorneys are very often allowed to file their client's bankruptcy directly online during times when a lot of cases are being filed and processing times are way up.
However, this bankruptcy database is not accessible directly to debtors who must thus engage an attorney if they want to find information through this means.
There are however, many companies that have their own bankruptcy databases which help consumers who need to file for bankruptcy and who need to use such bankruptcy databases to find information related to business etc.
Searching bankruptcy databases
If you are looking to use these kinds of bankruptcy databases, you can enter certain parameters for your search which can include according to region which will throw up information according to county, state, city and even three first digits of zip codes.
Also locating data according to specific dates is also normally an option. So you can search by filing date, dismissal date and or discharge date. Often it is even possible to search by date of first meeting.
Then of course you may want to try a search by the type of bankruptcy filed. So you can easily search for bankruptcies that were filed under chapter-, 11 and or 7. In addition you may want to even try a combination.
Remember here that chapter eleven deals only with businesses while chapter thirteen is meant for individuals only, and even the majority of chapter seven's are for individuals as well.
Some of the more complete bankruptcy databases will also include details such as the amount relating to assets and liabilities for each case.
Finally, the bankruptcy database will also contain the house addresses and within this you can filter out addresses with regard to certain apartment numbers, PO Boxes as well as those addresses that have number signs in them.
