Default Dave Ramseys bankruptcy

Did Dave Ramsey repay the creditors he listed in his bankruptcy after he got back on his feet ? I know a person doesn't legally have to repay creditors after those debts are discharged but according to an online interview in Failure Magazine he calls bankruptcy a moral issue and questions the integrity of those who file.

Just curious...

I'm sure that particular revelation came after he was through with the bankruptcy.


but even if he said he did, could we prove it? (I don't know how public bankruptcy info is)


besides, isn't debt forgiveness biblical anyway? I realize in that context it comes from the debt grantor and not the debtor like bankruptcy, but still....

Bankruptcy is on the public record, but I don't know if any details are listed.

Pobably just date filed and discharged.
I would be surprised if it went into detail with co's that were listed in someones filing or if they were repaid.

I think Ramseys refusal to answer my question tells me the answer.
If he had repaid them, he strikes me as a person who would be proud to tell others that he did.
