What is considered actually receiving a bankruptcy notice to trigger the automatic stay and internal procedures in place for bankruptcy? We noticed one of our customers had filed bankruptcy in a county bulletin that the bank subscribes to. To date we have not received any formal notice from the bankruptcy court. Does the public record trigger the stay even though no formal notice has been received by the bank?

One of our mortgage lenders would like to place an ad in the classified portion of the local newspaper. The ad reads: Have you filed bankruptcy or had your home foreclosed on in the past two years? Call [name] to get your credit checked. You may be eligible to purchase a home. Numerous programs available to be a homeowner again. Then she lists her name and cell phone. The bank is not mentioned. Does it need to be? Would this ad be considered compliant? What would make it compliant? Is this a bad idea?
