Upload 30,000 ID numbers at once. Instantly find which debtors appear in deceased estate notices, insolvency orders, sales in execution, and company liquidations.
Right now, debtors in your portfolio are dying, being sequestrated, and having property sold — and you don't know about it.
Cost per individual gazette search from service providers. With thousands of accounts in your book, manual checking is financially impossible — so most debtors are never screened.
New gazettes published annually. Every week, estate notices and insolvency orders are gazetted for debtors in your portfolio — each one a claim window that closes if you miss it.
In unclaimed recoveries. When a debtor dies, their estate must settle debts. When sequestrated, creditors file claims. If you don't know about it, you don't claim — and the money goes elsewhere.
Three steps to screen your entire portfolio.
Paste or upload a CSV of 13-digit SA ID numbers — up to 30,000 on Professional or 50,000 on Business. No formatting needed.
Every ID is checked against 853,000+ gazette notices across all types — estates, insolvency, sales in execution, liquidations. Results in seconds, not months.
Download matched results as CSV. See estate numbers, executor details, court divisions, and case numbers — everything you need to file a claim immediately.

Debt collectors screen debtor portfolios against Government Gazette notices. When a debtor appears in an estate notice (deceased), insolvency sequestration, or sale in execution, the collector can file a claim against the estate or adjust their recovery strategy. This turns written-off debt into recoverable claims.
Yes. Upload up to 30,000 ID numbers on the Professional plan or 50,000 on the Business plan. Paste directly or upload a CSV file. Results show instantly which debtors appear in gazette notices, with full details for each match.
Weekly screening is recommended — new Government Gazettes are published every week. The Watchlist feature automates this: add your debtor IDs once and get email alerts when new notices match, so you never miss a claim window.
Deceased estate notices (file claims against the estate), insolvency and sequestration orders (file proof of claim with the trustee), sales in execution (property being sold to satisfy debt), and company liquidations (file claims with the liquidator).
The Business plan at R6,000/month includes 50,000 items — that's R0.12 per ID checked. Compare that to R500+ per individual search from traditional gazette service providers. Even the Professional plan works out to about R0.13 per ID.
A gazette search checks if a person appears in official Government Gazette notices — revealing legal events like death, insolvency, or property sales. A trace locates someone's current contact details. Both are useful in debt recovery, but gazette searches reveal events that fundamentally change how you collect.
Every week, gazette notices are published for debtors in your portfolio. Start screening today and turn written-off debt into recoverable claims.
