Bankruptcy Problems! - What exactly can extend your Bankruptcy Term?




When it comes down to Bankruptcy, there is lots of complication because it is definitely an area that you really do need to get some firm advice in because alternatively you may find yourself in an even worse situation. That I why here at Bankruptcy Experts Northern Rivers  we certainly want to make certain people realize that there are certain things that can effectively make your Bankruptcy term be stretched from 3 years to 5 (or even 8) years!

Yes, this means that you will remain even longer in the 'Bankruptcy limbo' so heed our advice and avoid setting off any of the following areas-- because if you do, then the whole area of Bankruptcy becomes much more challenging and the Trustee can actually intervene and get your term extended rather than letting it automatically discharge.

So just how can the term be extended to 5 years?

Certainly there are a variety of ways in Northern Rivers , and these are considered the 'minor breaches' because they only extend the term to the 5 year mark. So please, while Bankrupt:
  • Do not remain to act as a Director of a company.
  • Do not leave Australia without the permission of your Trustee
  • Do not incur credit more that the prescribed amount
  • Do not fail to show up at a meeting of your creditors
  • Do not fail to disclose a beneficial interest or asset
  • Do not fail to go to an interview arranged by your trustee without justifiable explanation.

And also, if certain extra aspects are discovered, this can also increase the term to 5 years, so if it is discovered that before Bankruptcy, you:
  • Made a preferential payment
  • Entered into an undervalued transaction.


So how can the term be extended to 8 years?

So when it relates to Bankruptcy, there are some areas that if you are in violation can effectively end up extending the term to 8 years. So please, while Bankrupt:
  • Do not fail to give written explanation to the trustee regarding any issues arising from property or income.
  • Do not incur more credit than the prescribed amount
  • Do not leave Australia and fail to come back when asked by the trustee.
  • Do not refuse to sign a file after the trustee has requested you to sign it.
  • Do not fail to disclose a beneficial interest in an asset.
  • Do not fail to reveal the purpose of any money spent or property sold 5 years prior to bankruptcy


And again, if prior to bankruptcy you did any of the following:
  • Deliberately provided any false or misleading information to your trustee
  • Entered into a transaction, or extreme payments into your superannuation fund with the intention to defeat creditors


Bankruptcy and these types of term extensions in Australia are confusing and complicated, these lists of problems that you may deal with are just the tip of the iceberg as far as your possibilities in Northern Rivers  are concerned.

Bankruptcy Northern Rivers, What is the Deal with Debts?

Image
So what Debts are eliminated if I go Bankrupt? The basic answer is that when it concerns Bankruptcy most debts are wiped, and I have added a summary 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 for instance, HECS or FEE-HELP. These debts are not wiped out 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 definite security affixed 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 removed if I file for bankruptcy? Yes. If you have a car loan for $40,000 you can have that debt eliminated 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 secure...

Going Bankrupt in Northern Rivers - does it matter if it is voluntary?

When it comes to Going Bankrupt Northern Rivers , usually people aren't aware that there are both voluntary, and involuntary bankruptcy- both of these have unique methods and guidelines. Involuntary bankruptcy arises when a person you owe money to involves the court to declare you bankrupt. Commonly when you get one of these notices, you have normally 21 days to pay all the debt. If you do not, then the creditor goes back to the court and asks the court to provide a sequestration order that declares you bankrupt. A trustee is selected, and then you have 14 days to get the documentation in and after that you are bankrupt. You can object to a ba nkruptcy notice by going to court shortly after the 21 days have expired and put your case forward, to stop it going to the next level. Apart from the way you became bankrupt there is in reality no distinction between Involuntary Bankruptcy and or Voluntary Bankruptcy - once you are declared bankrupt, they're managed to in...
