So what Debts are cleared away if I go
Bankrupt?
The simple answer is that when it involves Bankruptcy
most debts are wiped, and I have added 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) alongside
any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts
like HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not cleared away 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 linked to it. So as an
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 wiped out 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 may be wiped but the asset has to be sold or returned. This is
just one part that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is important to get
professional advice - like that offered at Bankruptcy Experts Alice Springs.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be cleared away If I go bankrupt?
Yes they can, both business and personal
debts owing to the ATO can be eliminated with bankruptcy. If you have a
business with any form of debts find some advice because it is not always so
simple. Feel free to call us here over at Bankruptcy Experts Alice Springs if
