What to do if I have a bank account in Australia that has less than $20 in it but that I haven’t used in a very long time and I did not think to list it on my schedules?

Will that be a problem for me? Another free help-clinic told me not to list it.

The small amount in the account should not present any problem with your bankruptcy.

If your bankruptcy has already been filed with the court and you were to list that account, the filing fee for filing an amendment to your bankruptcy would exceed the amount in the account.
