There is usually a way to look at public records for free, if you go to the location itself. You have to be really specific and know exactly what you are looking for though, dates, names, etc,. Otherwise you can waste hours looking though log books or unindexed records. What you are paying for typically is photocopies or technology improvements to make these records web search-able or at least posted to a computer terminal. Some public records contain sensitive information and it is not in the government's best interest to make the data widely available (people's soc numbers, drivers license, birth records, etc,.). There is always the free alternative, but it usually will cost you more in your time than letting the professional have a crack at it.

In most states, disclosure of a criminal record other than your own is a violation of FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). You may be able to contact an agency and have them obtain that information for you for a fee, but generally, that information is not open to the public unless they are on the sex offender registry.

Depends on the state, and how easy it is to access their law information.\n\nIn Michigan, a quick search of Michigan's MCL laws comes right up with that info.\n\nNow, understand how it applies to you is a completely differant battle.  I would strongly suggest you get a bankruptcy attorney and let him explain it.

There are five counties in NYC, Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Queens, the Bronx, and Richmond (Staten Island). If you can go to the Bankruptcy Courts they have a free computer you can search by name or Social Security number, but just for that county. If you can wait, you can get a Pacer number (apply online) that lets you look up bankruptcy and other court records. They mail you your account number, and you don't have to pay unless you use it a lot. Search for "Pacer" and "courts records" to get the application.

They are required by law to "show" proof of debt or information. Simply telling you that they confirmed the info is not good enough, although they want you to think that it is. If you have hounded them for a while and are getting nowhere, you may want to consider the next step. That is to sue them in your local court system, not for money, but for the information change. In most cases since you are not sueing for money, they will not even hire a lawyer to contest the law suit and you will win by default. Then with court order in hand you demand they follow the courts decision. This raises the ante for them considerably because ignoring a court order is abit more serious. If they do hire an attorney, then modify your suit to included damages and legal fees. The point is to force them to come public with their proof, if they really have any.

Yes.  You do not list those debts as part of your bankruptcy plan and reaffirm with the lenders (who by law receive notice of bankruptcy) that you will still be paying them what is owed.  You do not need to file chapter 11 or 13 in order to reaffirm.  However, if you are including those debts in your bankruptcy, then as a rule those assets must be liquidated in order to minimize the lenders' losses.

Go to the court where your bankruptcy was filed.  They WILL allow you to see the file.  The only cost involved is that for the copy machine.
