Bankruptcy Mackay, So what is the Deal with Debts?

Which Debts are cleared away if I go Bankrupt?

The basic answer is that when it involves Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have also included a summary below for you to look at.

But, simply put some of the exceptions are Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) and any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts such as 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 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 erased 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 could be wiped but the asset will need to be sold or returned. This is just one aspect that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is necessary to get professional advice - like that offered at Bankruptcy Experts Mackay.

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 erased with bankruptcy.
