In this current credit crisis it is important to know quickly if a customer or vendor has filed bankruptcy

  • Do you extend credit to customers or individuals? Or, do you rely on a vendor that may be filing bankruptcy? Knowing whether a company or individual has filed for bankruptcy is not easy. Debtors filing for bankruptcy are required to send a notification to you but this does not always happen. Sometimes it is a wrong address, sometimes the notice gets there late, and sometimes you are not even included on any of the debtor's schedules. Timing is very important in bankruptcy proceedings. The more notice you have the better. With our API, you can check daily to see if a filing has occurred. Then you will be a position to respond.
