Bankruptcy Gold Coast, Just what is the Deal with Debts?

So what Debts are removed if I go Bankrupt?

The uncomplicated answer is that when it involves Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have added a table below for you to look at.

But, put simply some of the exceptions are Centrelink Debts, Child Support, Court fines (like speeding fines) as well as any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts for example, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not removed 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 definite security attached to it. So for example 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 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 can be wiped but the asset must be sold or returned. This is just one element that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is vital to get professional help - like that you can find at Bankruptcy Advice Gold Coast.
