In Nov 2021 I went bankrupt. I live in SA. There were couple of debts I left out thinking i could handle them, but i couldnt and i kept using them. So beginning of this month i added them to my bankruptcy which you can do, so i did. Would those 2 debts go under the Nov 2021 bankruptcy or would they be dated from when i added them to my bankruptcy? Am i liable for the 2 debts i added to my bankruptcy?

Dear linda5211,

Suggest you call the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007 who assess all your facts and suggest your best options.

Short answer however, is normally yes you can “add” or “update” a debt that exist before your bankruptcy.

Good luck!
