  If I file bankruptcy will it be in the newspaper?

No, your bankruptcy filing will not be in the newspaper.

 

Your bankruptcy filing is public record, which means that someone could go down to the Court house and ask if you had filed bankruptcy; the Court would tell whoever asked if you and filed or not. So, unless you have a neighbor who has a lot of time on his hands and is extremely noisy, then no one will know about your bankruptcy unless you tell them.

However, the local newspapers here in Massachusetts does not list who filed for bankruptcy. Look for yourself, pick up the newspaper and look for the bankruptcy filings section, you will not find one.

 

You should know that foreclosure listings are in the newspaper. Also, if you were famous, perhaps a  town official or celebrity, then the paper may run a story regarding your bankruptcy.
