Two main fields are available to search for Bankruptcies; Bankruptcy Petitioners and Social Security number.  If the Petitioner is a person enter Last Names first, if it's an entity enter the common business name.

Normally, the Bankruptcy Petitioner field is sufficient to search for a bankruptcy, if you have the last-4 digits of the Social Security you can use both fields simultaneously to narrow your search. 

In the Type of Record you can select the type of record you want to search.  This area allows you to select just one record type or you can select all to search for Bankruptcies, Lawsuits and Tax Liens simultaneously.

Clicking the (+) sign will expand the Bankruptcies area to provide additional bankruptcy search options.  You have the option to search by Bankruptcy Number, a Creditor or a specific Status of the case.

Checkboxes are available to narrow your search to a specific Chapter or limit the search to commercial bankruptcies, personal bankruptcies or both.

The Advanced Report Options can be used to search for multiple bankruptcy records simultaneously.  You must leave the Bankruptcy Petitioners field blank and provide a date range using the Start Date and End Date fields.  The Meta Search will return all the bankruptcies filed during the provided period and matching other criteria specified.

The results can be sorted by Bankruptcy Number, Date (Oldest first), Name (A-Z) and Amount (<).  Also there an option to sort the report by Business Sector.

Business Sector Search

Leaving the Business Sector field blank will search for all sectors available in the system.  To search for specifics Business Sectors you can click the Modify button to open a window from which you can select the specific Business Sectors you want to search for.  Use the Ctrl-Key (command-Key in Mac) to select alternate options on the list.
