My MOC date is on the Internet!

[toi34]

I know that a BK is a public filing, but someone would have to know that you filed in order to look it up. However, I wasn't aware that the trustee's calendar would be published on the internet, and my name is on that calendar. It comes up in a Google search of my name. I am absolutely devasted. Is there any way to supress this?

NO! It is a public record. I doubt your friends are searching for your name to find that out though. If your friends are doing that, you need new friends. You did not rob a bank or kill someone. You used a legal remedy to deal with financial mistakes or unforseen hardships. Filing is not a crime or morally despicable act. I do not know you, but I know you are not perfect...I bet your friends know that too. Life is too short to be worrying about such things. You are on the bankruptcy court docket, not the sex offender database. I would also bet everyone you know is not perfect either. I filed both a chapter 13 and chapter 7 in my life, but never once had any of my friends ask me about it? They are still my friends. My Niece had to file with most of her debt being to blood sucking finance companies that loaned her money with over 100% DTI at 50% interest. I helped her file, and feel no pity for the predatory lenders. These pariah want you to feel shame...don't. Unless you planned to file when making that debt, you did not do anything shameful. I suggest you quit trying to dig up dirt on yourself on the internet. If any of these friends give you greif, I will be your friend. Your friends probably do not need to google you to know they like you. Like yourself the same way.

It will most likely show up on DocketBird as well. See this thread for "removal" instructions...

That is good to know. I just so detest some of these predatory lenders that shamefully lend at ridiculous interest rates to some poor people who feel they have no choice. Then they try and shame their victims when they finally use the only legal means of reclaiming some semblance of a normal life back. They prefer their victims let their Children starve I guess when hard times happen. They need to quit extending peoples misery by lending them money at near loan shark rates that anyone can see may be impossible to repay. They kept lending to my Niece when her DTI was over 100% and she has 3 children all who were preemies. My oldest great Niece weighed 1lb 6oz at birth. My Niece suffered for probably an extra 2 years before accepting that inevitable bankruptcy decision. These predators are not helping these people by lending them what they can't pay. Almost as bad as payday loan places. Finance companies are not being moral by making a fortune off of desperate people. Therein lies the proper place for shame.

I get a bit worked up over stuff like this. My oldest brother died of a heart attack at 49, and in his 49 years he did not have the net worth to pay his debts off when he died. My Mother had to pay to bury him out of her own pocket, after she had found him dead. Me and my Sister were appointed as executors for probate court. I stayed with my Mother for a while after that, and come home from work one day and my Mother is crying on the phone because some collection agent is saying "Don't you think it dishoners your sons memory to not pay his debts" The only reason I am not in prison for murder today is because I could not jerk them through the phone lines. That is the kind of snakes these people are, at least some of them.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not worrying about my friends, but I'm embarrassed if my coworkers find it. The stress a few weeks ago litteraly had me worried sick.

I had it removed from Docketbird after paying $50, and used Google's "outdated tool."  It was removed within minutes. My name was on some other  website too, and they too removed it, and so did Google.  But it's still on this darn calendar! The calendar is on page 4, but still.

I wish there were some remedy to get it pushed back to page 7, 8, 9, 10. People don't usually look that far.

The search with google returned that schedule for the MOC easy because it is very recent, as it ages it will go way deeper in how many pages it will be to return that. I highly doubt your co-workers are searching your name on the internet either. I have been there, so I do understand, but you have done nothing wrong either legally or in my opinion morally. I guess we all have searched our own names, especially after something like this. What we usually do not do is search friends and co-workers names. I would likely find things through google about them if I did, but why would I do that? If friends or co-workers have hidden such things from me, I am OK with that. I would feel like some weird stalker to google friends and co-workers. I have occasionally searched for long lost friends of 40 years ago just because I wonder are they still OK. Current friends and co-workers I never even thought of googling. That paranoia is normal, but you are worrying about something that is very unlikely. The only person likely google stalking you, is you. Friends and co-workers likely have their own issues to worry about.

@toi34 Google attempts to return most relevent info first, and if you are searching from your computer it might return that earlier than on a computer that you use a lot with cookies and such. It might be a lot further back on someone elses computer. All I can say is I filed twice, and if any co-worker knew it, I never knew they knew it. I know the internet was not huge then, but likely once someone gets your phone number they stop searching, assuming they do not have your phone number. That is the only reason I ever search a name of someone I know...as a phone book. Doing more is cyberstalking.
