Hi Jennifer,

I was trying to find out more on the court records. I think the court keeps the bankruptcy record for a certain period of time (read 20 years) in their files, in case there's any necessity for it. I'm not totally convinced though.

If you get something on this matter, please let me know. Thanks.
