Just what Debts are erased if I go
Bankrupt?
The practical answer is that when it
involves Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have included a compendium
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 removed 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 genuine 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 erased 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 could be wiped but the asset will need to be sold or returned.
This is just one part that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is necessary to get
professional assistance - like that offered at Bankruptcy Experts Toowoomba.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be cleared away If I go bankrupt?

debts owing to the ATO can be cleared away with bankruptcy. If you have a

basic. Feel free to call us here over at Bankruptcy Experts Toowoomba if you

Remember bankruptcy applies to an individual not companies, trusts or
businesses. Typically you may have to liquidate a company to deal with the debt
that way. And when it comes to Bankruptcy, it can be a complicated area, so
remember there are implications for a business owner such as insolvent trading.
