NZ Debt and UK Bankruptcy - Please Help
PHM12
Posts: 30 Forumite
I was declared bankrupt in the UK in May 2012. I finally thought I was getting my life back on track, but have recently received an email from a Company in NZ for an outstanding debt. I lived there May 2008-Nov 2009. One debt from NZ was inc in my bankruptcy, and I never heard any more about this. I advised the new creditor that I was bankrupt, but they have emailed me saying that it doesn't apply to NZ and asked for payiment. Can anyone please give me some advice? I am starting to feel like there is never going to be any end to this....thank you

Following my post above, I have searched online to look for any info and found the following;
Do debts I owe to foreign creditors fall into my bankruptcy?
Yes - all of your creditors in the world, except taxes due to non-EU countries, are able to claim in the bankruptcy being conducted in this country.

I am hoping that this is the case, and can again breath a sigh of relief. If anyone knows any different, or has any experience...your advice would be much appreciated...thanks0 -
Glad you found an answer, good to know it's covered.
As you now have found out, creditors tend to say anything to force payment.0 -
Indeed they do! Thanks0
