Precisely what Debts are eliminated if I go
Bankrupt?
The straightforward answer is that when it
concerns Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have also included a summary
below for you to look at.
But, put simply some of the exceptions are
Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) and also any
debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts for
instance, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not wiped out when you file for
bankruptcy.
What about Secured Debts?
A secured debt is a vehicle loan or a home
loan; it is a debt that has some genuine security affixed to it. So for
instance 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 removed 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 needs to be sold or returned. This is
just one element that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is essential to get
professional guidance - like that available at Bankruptcy Experts Newcastle.
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 erased with bankruptcy. If you have a business
with any type of debts get some advice because it is not always so
self-explanatory. Feel free to call us here at Bankruptcy Experts Newcastle if
