Hi, what is the function or the use of the Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Records? Who usually obtains those?

I think  Pennsylvania bankruptcy attorneys or a consumer who wants to file bankruptcy by himself -- They access the Pennsylvania bankruptcy records mainly for research or for referencePerhaps they are looking for cases to pattern their own cases after.

I agree, in addition, the Pennsylvania bankruptcy records can be accessed by lenders/creditors/their attorneys too for the same reason as what x and y has mentioned. It has something to do with the Pennsylvania state exemptions on properties, validity of liens, etc..
