Prosper.com is now providing chapter and filing date information for bankruptcies filed by prospective borrowers. If a Prosper loan listing appears where a bankruptcy has taken place, a new set of fields will appear with details of the incident.

This is a positive developement because up until not we were always left guessing as to what the public records on the loans were and often times you'd see a question for the borrower asking what it was.

In some cases the chapter and filing date for the borrower is not available in which case you'll just have to ask.
