Bankruptcy records are the official bankruptcy court documents detailing the entries, activities, and legal actions taken during a bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy is a legal procedure that a person, company, or entity can pursue when they are no longer able to repay their debts to creditors. Generally speaking, there are two primary types of bankruptcy procedures. One involves restructuring the repayment of debts and one involves completely wiping out all debts and any obligations to creditors.
There are several types of bankruptcy. They include Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 9 bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Chapter 12 bankruptcy, and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings are designed for individuals. Chapter 13 involves the debtor restructuring their debt and repaying the creditors on longer schedule, and chapter 7 involves eliminating the debt entirely.
There are five ways in which bankruptcy records are stored, but they all come down to either electronic files, or are old paper files stored in a warehouse. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) oversees the regional warehouses that store the old paper bankruptcy files. NARA closed walk-in access to the public for its archived records due to prolific identity theft. Retrieving electronic records requires an EFC account, which makes documents available for a fee.
Bankruptcy records include all the documents filed by the petitioner (the debtor or debtors), their attorney, and the bankruptcy court itself. Bankruptcy records include a Docket Report, the Voluntary Petition, the Meeting of Creditors, Schedules A through J, any Ammended Schedules, potential Reaffirmation Agreements, a Motion for Relief from Stay, Mortgage or Lien Exhibits, a Payment Plan (Chapter 13 only), Financial Management Certificate, Discharge or Dismissal, and any other documents involved in the various chapters of bankruptcy.
To get a copy of your bankruptcy records you can go to the court where you filed. However, it may involve taking time off work, finding and paying for parking, having to wait in line and paying for your documents. Once you get the court's paper copies of your bankruptcy records you'll want to scan them into PDF files for safe keeping. However, there are authorized bankruptcy record retrieval services who will quickly and conveniently email your bankruptcy paperwork. They'll arrive in a PDF file for you.
Bankruptcy records are needed for many scenarios, including getting a mortgage, buying a car, renting an apartment, or even obtaining security clearance. Bankruptcy records are also needed for some licensing requirements, like obtaining an insurance license, some forms of financial services licensing, and getting a job at a casino or as a law enforcement officer. Sometimes bankruptcy records are necessary for tax filing situations or responding to IRS inquiries. For this reason it's always a good idea to keep a copy of your bankruptcy records on hand for years or even decades after your bankruptcy has been discharged or dismissed.
If you’re getting a mortgage, it's always wise to get a copy of your Docket Report along with your bankruptcy records to ensure you have all the documents necessary for your Underwriter to approve your loan. Providing your Docket Report together with all your bankruptcy records makes it easier for your Underwriter to approve your mortgage. Always be sure to provide your loan officer your bankruptcy documents in PDF files. If you provide your mortgage officer paper copies of your bankruptcy file, they will have to scan them into PDF files in order to be able to enter them into their computer and send them to your Underwriter. So it’s best to just provide them your bankruptcy records as a PDF in the first place.
