We've all been faced with the stereotypes that go along with filing bankruptcy. But I happen to work for some old timers who have no idea I'm filing. Just this week someone we know who has filed talked to us and after they left they were called every lowdown name in the book(liar, cheat, criminal etc). I am very uncomfortable and trying to keep my situation from them. It is a good job that I've had for over 10 years.
My question is this - I know the bank that has my mortgage will be notified. I plan to keep the house and I'm not late on any of the payments. I also know that bankruptcy is public knowledge. My concern is that several members of my bosses family are on the board of the bank. Even if they learn of my filing, are they not required by my privacy rights to not spread it around town? Could I ask my attorney to write a letter when they mail in my paperwork reiterating my privacy rights when it comes to my situation. I know that the bank board talks. Ive personally be privy to some of the information.
Just curious.
Thanks
