You don't need to "clear your name" after Bankruptcy, the stigma isn't what it used to be. There's a common myth that once declared bankrupt you will be added to a "blacklist". There is no such blacklist. Under British law you will most likely be "clear" of you bankruptcy after 4 years, after which time you are allowed to apply for credit (if you want to), a good way to start is with a credit card with a low-limit. Use this card every month and clear the debt every pay-day, after a few months of this apply for another and then a few months later another. Make sure you pay them off. Keep this up for a maximum of 3 cards and for 1 year. This will improve your credit rating and you will probably be eligable for a loan, mortgage, etc. Be careful with your money though! Good luck, Moog.

How do you find out if someone has filed for bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy court records are public records, unless the court has impounded some or all the information for some good reason. There are banking publications, like Banker & Tradesman, that publish all filings in their area. Some local newspapers still publish bankruptcy filings from their communities. And you can check out the bankruptcy filings at the bankruptcy court for your area. There is usually a public access computer in the clerk's office where you can look for filings by name. A deputy clerk will be happy to assist you.


What happens to savings and CD accounts during bankruptcy that have your name on them if they belong to another person and you actually have not inherited them yet?

If your name is on any account or CD, it is an asset of your bankruptcy estate. If the money cannot be exempted, then it can be siezed by the Trustee. However, if these are funds that are held in a Trust or become yours only upon the death of the holder of the funds, then they may not be reachable by a Trustee. If the person dies within 6 months of your bankruptcy filing date, then the money will have to go to the Trustee.
