In most cases, your bankruptcy filing is a private matter, and there is no reason for your employer, neighbors, or family to be notified. Bankruptcy cases are public records, but that does not mean people in your everyday life will automatically be notified.
Your employer generally will not be contacted unless your bankruptcy involves a wage garnishment or another situation that requires your employer’s involvement. If you are currently being garnished, filing for bankruptcy may also stop qualifying wage garnishments through the automatic stay.
At Castle Law Office, we understand that privacy is a major concern for many people considering bankruptcy. We will explain who may need to be involved in your case and what you can expect throughout the process.
