If you are in the UK, Companies House in London could be a good place to start, or maybe the Inland Revenue.

When someone files bankruptcy, the court where the petition is filed will issue a public notice (this is usually printed in the local paper). There isn't really one source (in the US) where you can go and they will have a complete database of everyone who filed bankruptcy in the country. If you are looking for a specific person, you can check with the local court in their area. A legal search engine such as Lexis-Nexis will also be able to provide you with this as well, but you would need a name to search on.
Those "people search/people finder" websites will usually access this public information in their reports, but they will charge you for it, and again, you need to search on a particular person's name.

No, bankruptcy is covered by the data protection act. You can only see somebodies credit history if you are are registered with the financial services authority.
