So what Debts are erased if I go Bankrupt?
The basic answer is that when it comes to Bankruptcy
most debts are wiped, and I have included a compendium below for you to look
at.
But, put simply 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 including HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not wiped out 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 instance
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 cleared away 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 might be wiped but the asset has to be sold or returned. This is
just one component that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is important to get
professional help - like that available at Bankruptcy Experts Gold Coast.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be removed 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 sort of debts get some advice because it is not always so
easy. Feel free to call us right here over at Bankruptcy Experts Gold Coast if
