The Commonwealth of Virginia requires us to keep bankruptcy
documentation relating to our customers for 10 years.  I think this is
one of those regulations that will differ from state to state and
depends on organizational function.

Subject: [RM] BANKRUPTCY CASES

I am revising our retention schedule. I am currently trying to locate
information regarding the retention of bankruptcy files. The NC Bar
Association web page states a minimum of six years after closing the
files. The book, Records Management in the Legal Environment lists seven
years after the bankruptcy case has closed. 
 
I would appreciate it if anyone might share other guidelines for
retaining bankruptcy cases.
