If they don't ask, don't tell. Otherwise, don't ever try and cover up a material fact. JMO.Filed Ch7 5/28/09 (Pro Se) Orlando, 341 7/01, UST selected case for audit 7/01, Last day for objection 8/31. Audit report filed 9/10, no material misstatements. Discharged and closed 9/22/2009 -
It's probably just a criminal background check. Unless exchange of money is involved, it's unlikely a prospective employer would run a credit check.Originally posted by lostand View Post
If the prospective employer asks directly, "Have you ever filed bankruptcy?", don't lie. However, if they don't ask about bankruptcy, don't volunteer it either.When he goes Wed to fill out the paper work should he metion the BK OR NOT?I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

Background checks are usually for criminal history only. Even though some places call it a consumer credit report or otherwise, they are required to disclose the background check because it falls under the FRCA and/or FDCPA or something.
