TINS Warrant Hold Web-Based Training

Lesson 6: Bankruptcy Records

Recalling a Bankruptcy Record

Agencies must first perform a recall action, whether they are setting up a bankruptcy record or the bankruptcy record has already been set up. The ACTION field defaults to R=recall.

Step 1. In the BANKRUPTCY TIN field, enter the 10- or 11-digit number of the debtor or payee and select Enter.

  • If the TIN is not on the bankruptcy file, the message BANKRUPTCY RECORD NOT FOUND displays at the bottom of the screen.
  • If the TIN is on the bankruptcy file, the message RECORD SUCCESSFULLY RECALLED displays with the details of the bankruptcy record.

Example: BKRUPD Recall Screen
