Precisely 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 included a table 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 instance, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not erased 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 definite security connected to it. So for
example if you buy a new car for $40,000 dollars the security for this 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 wiped out if you simply return 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 assistance - like that provided at Bankruptcy Experts Gladstone.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be eliminated If I go bankrupt?
Yes they can, both business and personal
debts owing to the ATO can be wiped out with bankruptcy. If you have a business
with any form of debts find some advice because it is not always so easy. Feel
