Bankruptcy & Facebook
San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney discusses Debtor’s postings on Facebook...
This San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney is not denying that Facebook has become an international phenomenon, boasting millions of users posting new information everyday. However, Debtor’s contemplating bankruptcy or those who have already filed should be wary of how much information they disclose on social networking sites. Even if debtor’s limit their profiles to “Friends Only” status, they are not necessarily secure from prying eyes. It is best for all consumers, in any legal proceeding, bankruptcy included, to maintain a level of anonymity on the Internet. Posts regarding lavish trips or extravagant purchases can easily be disclosed to bankruptcy trustees by ex-spouses, ex-significant others, or nosey creditors.
It is best to error on the side of caution and limit any posts on social networking sites until all legal bankruptcy proceedings are complete. Information is power in any legal setting and debtors have to assume that any information they post about their spending habits will be used against them. Debtors should protect their private life and personal information by remaining anonymous and flying below their creditors and bankruptcy trustees’ radar.
