What is Pacer?
PACER is the bankruptcy court systems case filing database. Pacer is primarily used by bankruptcy attorneys and bankruptcy trustees but it is a public database. Pacer contains all bankruptcy filings and allows anyone with an account to view any document that is filed with the bankruptcy court. For the individual bankruptcy debtor, it is usually a good idea to apply for a PACER account as doing so will allow you to monitor everything that is filed in your bankruptcy case.
However, PACER is not, strictly speaking, a national database; although all bankruptcy districts use PACER, you cannot register on PACER for national coverage. When you register for a PACER account, you must select a specific bankruptcy district.
However, a word of caution, PACER is NOT free. If you are obsessive compulsive or otherwise a worry wort, PACER is not for you as you will run-up tremendous charges simply checking on your case. In any event, you can find out more by visiting the PACER website.
