Bankruptcy Perth, What is the Deal with Debts?

What Debts are wiped out if I go Bankrupt?

The practical answer is that when it concerns Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have featured 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) in addition to any debts arising from uninsured Motor-vehicle claims and educational debts like HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not wiped out 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 real security linked to it. So for instance 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 eliminated 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 may be wiped but the asset has to be sold or returned. This is just one part that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is essential to get professional help - like that available at Bankruptcy Advice Perth.
