Precisely what Debts are wiped out if I go
Bankrupt?
The basic answer is that when it comes to Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have provided a compendium 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 which
include HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not cleared away 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 genuine security affixed 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 removed if I
file for bankruptcy?
Yes. If you have a car loan for $40,000 you
can have that debt removed 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 might be wiped but the asset has to be sold or returned. This is
just one facet that, when it comes to Bankruptcy, it is essential to get
professional help - like that provided at Bankruptcy Experts Adelaide.
What about my Tax Debts with the ATO can
they be wiped out If I go bankrupt?
Yes they can, both business and personal
debts owing to the ATO can be erased with bankruptcy. If you have a business

Remember bankruptcy applies to an individual not companies, trusts or

this way. And when it comes to Bankruptcy, it can be a complicated area, so
