How to Find a Bankrupt Person
- 1). Look the bankrupt person up by first and last name in your local phone book or, if you don't have a phone book on hand, at whitepages.com. Like any other person, bankrupt people can opt to have their phone numbers "unlisted" and kept out of phone books, but it's still a good idea to check here, given that it only take a few seconds.
- 2). Perform a general Google, Yahoo! or Bing search on the bankrupt individual, including the city and state of his residence if possible. Searching the terms "John Doe Anytown Texas," for example, will pull up all Web results that pertain to people named John Doe who live in Anytown, Texas -- and the more information you can include, the more likely you are to pull up the specific person you're searching for.
- 3). Order a background check on the bankrupt individual, clicking on your choice of links in the "Resources" section if you don't already have a familiar means of doing so. Although filing bankruptcy will remove debt items from a bankrupt person's credit report, her personal information -- address, employer and phone number, for example -- will still remain on her personal background report. Please note that using any of the services may subject you to a fee, so if you have a background check provider you can use through your employer any other outlet, that might be a less expensive option.
- 4). Search social networking sites, like Facebook and MySpace, for the person. Although you may limited in the extent to which you can contact him via this method if you're not "friends," searching his name using the main search field on either website will give you basic information about him, including his city of residence and, depending on how publicly visible he makes his profile, his birth date and employer.
