Bankruptcy Lismore, So what is the Deal with Debts?

Just 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 chart below for you to look at.

But, put simply some of the exceptions are Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) along with any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts for example, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not eliminated 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 absolute 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 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 might be wiped but the asset has 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 Lismore.

What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can they be cleared away If I go bankrupt?

Yes they can, both business and personal debts owing to the ATO can be removed with bankruptcy.
