Filing for personal bankruptcy is a matter of public record so yes - it's made public. It may not always be easy to obtain those public records but they do exist and can be seen by anyone with an interest.

Yikes! TY Lucas.

I don't want to get off topic but I have noticed when reading the newspaper in Florida they list bankruptcies and Power of Sales in the newspapers. I wondered if it's like that in every State, when I saw the post regarding Jonathan's Bankruptcy.

Sometimes people with credit problems do everything, but deal with it. Going on the show might have been an escape for him.

I look at realty for sale often and it mentions which sales are in pre-foreclosures and foreclosures right on the site.  It's only a hop, skip and jump to figure out who owns those properties.

You would never see an owner's name on a Power of Sale Real Estate Listing, in Ontario. It's against the rules. Nor would you see a list of personal bankruptcies in the newspaper.

I feel bad for Jonathan, having this exposed for all to see. I guess I'm just not used to it.

You don't see the seller's name on a listing in the states.
If you have the listing's address(and you do), it is very simple to find out from the address who owns the home. It is a simple search. So if it is pre-forclosure or under foreclosure, you can easily find out who owns that home.
