Just what Debts are removed if I go
Bankrupt?
The simple answer is that when it concerns Bankruptcy
most debts are wiped, and I have featured a chart below for you to look at.
But, simply put some of the exceptions are
Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) together
with any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational
debts for example, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not erased when you file for
bankruptcy.
What about Secured Debts?
A secured debt is a car loan or a home
loan; it is a debt that has some real security connected to it. So for example
if you buy a new car for $40,000 dollars the security for that car is the
actual car itself.
So, can my secured debts be cleared away if
I file for bankruptcy?
Yes. If you have a car loan for $40,000 you
can have that debt erased if you simply hand back the car. So the lesson is
that you cannot have your cake and eat it too (so to speak), so yes all of your
secured debts can be wiped but the asset has to be sold or returned. This is
just one element that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is necessary to get
professional help - like that you can find at Bankruptcy Experts Sunshine
Coast.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be erased If I go bankrupt?
Yes they can, both business and personal
debts owing to the ATO can be cleared away with bankruptcy. If you have a
business with any kind of debts receive some advice because it is not always so
self-explanatory. Feel free to call us here at Bankruptcy Experts Sunshine

Remember bankruptcy applies to an individual not companies, trusts or
