Exactly what Debts are erased if I go
Bankrupt?
The quick answer is that when it concerns Bankruptcy
most debts are wiped, and I have also 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) and even any
debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts
including HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not eliminated 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 attached 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 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 may 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 vital to get
professional help - like that provided at Bankruptcy Experts Maitland.
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 wiped out with bankruptcy. If you have a business
with any sort of debts find some advice because it is not always so simple.

Remember bankruptcy applies to an individual not companies, trusts or

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.
