Hi there. I am working very very hard to move on after bankruptcy in June 2009. To my total shock a friend told me that she had 'googled' my name and came up with all my bankruptcy details, prev addresses etc. I realise these have to be held and used by credit/banking institutions but what about 'joe public' filling in time on google? What can I do about this, I am so shocked what if my kids see this, or worse my violent ex who I have been hiding from for 10 years?

I'm sorry to hear that. Your details should not be visible now. Have you checked to see if your details have been removed from the Insolvency register?

It wont be from the Insolvency Register, it will be from the london gazette, you couls try asking the londen gazette to make the details not googleable (if that is a word), althogh it would still be available if someone searched the london gazette itself

Never thought of that one. That's not good if anyone can type your name in and read it.

If I google my name I'm an author, a real estate agent, a singer - nothing else at all.

I dont fully understand it, but it is something to do with the way google searches (which they changed the other day by the way)but the london gazette can but some piece of code in your online entry which means that the Google bots dont pick it up

I would imagine that in those circumstances the entries on Google could be removed. I thought that if there was any indication that the persons safety was at risk that details such as addresses etc could be witheld.
