Yes. A criminal record does not prohibit a debtor from filing bankruptcy. In fact, the judge or trustee would not look up your criminal record. Therefore, they would not be aware of a criminal record, save for debts relating directly to criminal offenses. Bankruptcy is available for anyone who has debts and is looking for a fresh, financial start.
Do not let fear and misinformation keep you from gaining control of your finances through bankruptcy. From the moment you file bankruptcy, harrassing phone calls and letters end and creditors are prohibited from debt collection activity.
