Where can I go to seek information on bankrupt companies or seek recourse from company that has gone bankrupt?

Answer 1

Bankruptcy is public so you could check it at the Library or wherever your cities public records are kept. You might even have an online database for your state.

For instance I live in Wisconsin so I google:
Wisconsin Circuit Court Access
Give it a try, might work.

Answer 2

Companies House will have a list of all companies gone bankrupt, and also Directors of bankrupt companies. This should help define if they have just re-opened under a new name.

Answer 3

Actually, bankruptcy law is federal. There usually is a federal bankruptcy court in your district. Should be same area/city as U.S. Fed district court. Without much detail in your question, I am assuming you are owed money by the company. If so, they will send or have sent you information on their filing. If not, they are not showing you as a creditor. You will need to file a "proof of claim" which is pretty simple and you don't need any attorney to do so. You can download forms online with a simple search. Generally, though, unless there will be distribution to unsecured creditors, you won't have much chance of getting paid. Depends on type of bankruptcy. If it's a national concern, they only have to file in a state they do business in, so it may not be your state and you will be handling the matter by mail/long distance. Good luck!
