Is Your Personal Information Really Safe?
Anybody can find out when you were born, who you married or divorced, what real estate you own, car you drive, your Social Security number and Vehicle registration, your medical records through personal injury lawsuits, employment and unemployment.
Your bankruptcy filing, which also contains credit card companies owed, account numbers, bank account numbers, how much you owe, how much you have in your bank account is all part of your government public records.

Can Anybody Can Search Your Records?
Search engines allow any amateur the means to look up your name, address, phone number and find out a whole world of information regarding all of your personal affairs. Most people don’t even realize their records contain all of this information.
They rip up their junk mail, credit card statements and anything else with their name on it on a daily basis, thinking they are safe from any identity theft issues, when a thief really doesn’t need to know anything about you to find out everything about you!
Many states and counties have their own websites where anybody can search your government public records. Many county websites now even list how much you paid for your house when your deed is filed.
They are doing this for property tax issues, but a future buyer of your home could certainly find out what you paid, and use that as a basis to try to analyze your asking price without complete information, and cost you the sale of your home, or certainly cut into any profit you might being hoping to gain.
