A San Jose bankruptcy attorney answers the question: What is False Bankruptcy?

False Bankruptcy occurs when one party files bankruptcy under another party's name and social security number. While false bankruptcy is a type of fraud scenario that often occurs in conjunction with longterm identity theft, it can also happen between families and spouses. An example of the latter version of false bankruptcy is a woman who received Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding notice for her son. At the time, her son was 5 years old. It was revealed that her estranged husband had filed bankruptcy in the child's name in an attempt to stay an impending foreclosure on the family home.
