Privacy is Protected in Bankruptcy
Aurora Illinois Bankruptcy Lawyers & Attorneys
Jesse Barrientes: Sure. Sometimes people ask me too, is my employer going to know that I filed a bankruptcy?
David Siegel: The only time an employer would have to know that you filed a Chapter 7 is if the garnishment was on your wages, and your attorney had to send something to your employer to stop it. Typically, the employer's not going to know. Your neighbor's not going to know unless they go down to the courthouse. You're going to be protected. Your privacy's going to be protected for the most part. You're not going to be wearing a big B on your forehead.
Jesse Barrientes: No scarlet letter.
David Siegel: It's not a scarlet letter that you filed for bankruptcy.
Jesse Barrientes: Okay.
David Siegel: It's relief, and it's afforded by the Federal Government.
