Request for Question Clarification by tutuzdad-ga on 30 Nov 2005 14:10 PST

These types of record retrievals come with a fee. Would you like me to
direct you to some online places where you can do this for a retrieval
fee?

Some of the sources I mentioned above have a guaranteed 24 hour
turnaround on the report.

Just let me know.

Clarification of Question by tim3333-ga on 01 Dec 2005 07:11 PST

I am familiar with the Pacer service which charges a fee, but they
seem to only have electronic information that does not include the
years 1983-1984.This information is very important to me due to a 22
year old claim that I owe some riduculous amount of sales tax to the
state of Ohio. So, actually getting the information without paying a
fee to later find that it is not available, or the source couldn't get
to it is not what I am looking for. On the other hand, If someone can
actually get this information, I would certainly pay a fee. As I
recall the prefix to the case file was B83-xxxx

Tim
PS 
Please see my previous comment.

I just did this for myself in Florida. 

Assuming Ohio works similar to Florida, contact the county (where it
was filed) Clerk of Courts, and they will tell you how to obtain the
info (Record number, box number, file number, etc).

In my case, after contacting the clerk of courts, it was as simple as
calling the Bankruptcy court who had all the information required (the
info listed above in paren's)to get the records from archive. I then
contacted the Federal Archive and was able to order the complete
record of the banruptcy.

Thank you for your comment. I have already sent a formal request for
file information to the court per their procedure, using their form.
They charge 26.00 for this which is no problem. Hopefully, this will
resolve the issue. My concern is that the request will get ignored, or
take a long time to get a response.

Tim
