Understanding Bankruptcy in Google
Bankruptcy filings are public records that appear on court websites, legal databases, and news sites. Google indexes these pages, making your bankruptcy easily discoverable by employers, lenders, landlords, and anyone searching your name—sometimes for decades after discharge.
While bankruptcies fall off your credit report after 7-10 years, they can remain in Google search results indefinitely unless removed. Google offers limited removal options for outdated or legally discharged bankruptcy information under specific circumstances.
Types of Bankruptcy Records We Address
Liquidation bankruptcy that has been fully discharged by the court
Repayment plan bankruptcy completed and discharged
Bankruptcy records appearing on websites after discharge period
News articles or blog posts about your past bankruptcy
Public court filings indexed by Google and appearing in search
Commercial sites that republish bankruptcy filing information
Eligibility Requirements
- Court documentation showing your bankruptcy has been discharged
- Sufficient time has passed since discharge (varies by jurisdiction)
- The information appears in Google Search results when searching your name
- The bankruptcy was a personal filing (individual or individual/spouse)
- You are located in a jurisdiction with favorable privacy laws (EU/UK preferred)
✓ More Likely to Be Removed:
- Discharged bankruptcies from 7+ years ago (US) or 6+ years (UK)
- EU residents filing under GDPR "Right to Be Forgotten"
- Bankruptcy records on commercial/aggregator sites (not official courts)
- Articles or posts about bankruptcy that are no longer newsworthy
- Information containing financial details beyond the basic public record
✗ Typically Cannot Be Removed:
- Active or recently filed bankruptcy cases (not yet discharged)
- Direct links to official U.S. federal court records (PACER)
- Newsworthy bankruptcies (public figures, large business failures)
- Fraudulent bankruptcy or criminal bankruptcy cases
- U.S. residents without GDPR protections (more difficult, not impossible)
Common Questions
In the U.S., Google typically considers bankruptcy removals after 7-10 years from discharge. In the EU and UK, removal may be possible sooner (6+ years) under GDPR. Recent bankruptcies are generally considered newsworthy and remain in search results.
No. Our service only removes bankruptcy information from Google Search results. Bankruptcy automatically falls off credit reports after 7 years (Chapter 13) or 10 years (Chapter 7). For credit report disputes, contact the credit bureaus or a credit repair specialist.
Official court records generally cannot be removed from government websites—they are permanent public records. However, we can remove them from appearing in Google Search results, which prevents most people from finding them when searching your name.
Bankruptcies involving fraud, criminal activity, or public interest issues are typically not eligible for removal from Google. These remain newsworthy and part of the public record indefinitely. Standard discharged bankruptcies without criminal issues have much better chances of removal.
GDPR Advantage for EU Residents
If you're located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have stronger protections under GDPR's "Right to Be Forgotten." European residents can request bankruptcy record removal from Google sooner and with higher success rates than U.S. residents.
For EU/UK residents, we can file through Google's specialized GDPR removal process, which considers outdated financial information removals more favorably. Success rates are significantly higher for EU residents with discharged bankruptcies over 6 years old.
