When individuals file for bankruptcy, they typically include all of their debts in their intitial filing. The bankruptcy process will help the filer pay back or discharge some of these debts.

In some cases, individual filers realize that they forgot to include one of their debts in their original filing. When this occurs, individuals will likely be able to include the debt by amending their bankruptcy filing through their attorney.
