| If I file bankruptcy will it be in the newspaper? |
| Posted By Robert Kovacs |

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.

| Telegram and Gazette reports “Foreclosure petitions still high” – Bankruptcy can save your home |

In an article from the Worcester Telegram and Gazette (http://www.telegram.com/article/20091230/NEWS/912309982/1002) it is reported that foreclosure petitions in Massachusetts remain high.
The good news is that the actual number of foreclosures that have been completed for 2009 has been less than 2008. However, the number of foreclosures started with the filing of a Petition to Foreclose has increased in 2009 from 2008.
Bankruptcy has several options that may help if you have facing foreclosure, in chapter 13 you may be able to eliminate your second mortgage forever, and catch up the missed payments with the first mortgage.
Additionally, you may be able to eliminate all your unsecured debt in either chapter 7 or 13 thus freeing up money to pay towards the mortgage.
If you are facing foreclosure, please give me a call and we can find a solution to the problem. Bankruptcy can stop the foreclosure and save your home BUT ONLY if you file before the foreclosure sale. |
