Yes, absolutely. It is and always be as a federal court proceeding.
Many information reporting services compile and maintain these records too.
A bankruptcy is "on" your credit report the instant you file it and will not be removed for 7-10 years. Its a public record. If you dismiss the bankruptcy the day after filing, it will still show up.
A bankruptcy remains on your credit record for ten years. It remains a public record in the courts forever. You can file a motion in bankruptcy court to have it expunged from the court records. If the motion is allowed, it will appear as though it had never been filed in the court because it will no longer appear in the public records.
It is impossible to tell through public record what year Jimmie Wayne White filed bankruptcy. This is information that is confidential to his credit report, and if it has been at least 10 years the information would have been purged from record.
If a debt is not listed in your bankruptcy, it is not a matter of public record. Only those debts listed in the bankruptcy are can be brought up in public records. The above has several problems: Many debts are a matter of public record, regardless of if you are in BK or not. For example a mortgage is listed on public records. Any debt that becomes a lien is a matter of public record. A repair/builder that works on the property may file against you/it until paid. Your credit record, while commonly available to many, is not officially a public record....but what difference to you? Any debt, heck just about anything (your marriage, divorce, death , lots of things) become matter of record. If I as want to protect my rights and let everyone know I have them - I can make it a matter of public record by having it recorded at the recorders office. (Leases regularly are - giving notice that you have an occupancy claim to something). Bankruptcy debts are a matter of the case record in the Bankruptcy Court you filed in, but not in the standard sense of public record. (In other words, while your filing BK may or may not become on file as a matter of record somewhere other than the court, the other record will NOT contain the specifics of it. Just that it exists, and then the details can normally be gotten from the BK court). Most importantly, by what your asking - you may be missing the big thing: If you have a debt and you don't reveal it under your BK filing - IT DOES NOT GET DISCHARGED and in fact, as you have sworn to the court you ARE swearing and telling them about all your debts AND assets, you can have many more problems. Eve criminal (judges don't like to be lied to). And because the court may then have provided improper dismissal or incorrect payoffs to creditors - the entire ruling will be reversed. This happens regularly.
Yes, but you have to provide a copy of your bankruptcy file.
If you file bankruptcy, you file bankruptcy on everything. You can not file bankruptcy on one loan.
No, it will remain on the report until the expiration date for whatever type judgment it might be. Generally judgments are expunged from a CR after seven years. The entry should be noted as having been "included in bankruptcy".
No. Filing a bankruptcy creates a public record that does not go away because you did not complete the bankruptcy. - once you file and get a case number you have filed for bankruptcy. if you didn't follow through and it got dismissed is regardless. you still filed for bankruptcy and it will still be on your credit report.
Yes. Divorce files are part of the public record.

If you are talking about a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, It takes 7 to 9 years after you can file bankruptcy again.
