Bankruptcy in Parramatta - Who exactly do I talk to?




Should I speak with my accountant about Bankruptcy?

The answer seems clear doesn't it: if anyone knows your financial circumstance well in Parramatta, It's going to be your accountant. However, the short answer is a resounding No! It's not that your accountant does not have your best interests at heart when it comes to Bankruptcy, it's that his expertise lie in helping you save you money at tax time, reducing your tax liability and lodging your BAS.

Most accounting degrees will put in very little to no time on bankruptcy, it's generally done as a post graduate specialty program for those who want to work in the field. Unless your accountant is an insolvency expert, he would not know that a lot about the effects of Bankruptcy, I can assure you insolvency specialists know much about tax returns or BAS in. If you do manage to find an insolvency accounting firm in Parramatta, they tend to be large firms with very nice offices who charge accordingly.

Should I talk with my Solicitor about Bankruptcy?

No! You can speak to your solicitor in Parramatta but more than likely it won't do you much good. Solicitors are definitely good at undertaking things lawyers do, like helping you do your Will and buying your house and trying to keep you out of court if you're lucky. When it comes to Bankruptcy, the specialists in Parramatta usually have either a legal or accounting qualifications, and the reason for that is simply that you can't enrol in the post graduate study to become a qualified insolvency practitioner except if you have a law or accounting degree.

Just as there are a handful of insolvency accounting firms, there are very few insolvency legal practices in Parramatta, and yes if you locate one you will pay a sizable price for their expertise.

Should I talk to a financial counsellor about Bankruptcy?

Yes! There are lots of financial counselling services to aid you through this, they have no hidden agendas and they're a fabulous option for helping you think through your situation when it comes to Bankruptcy. If you find yourself freaking out constantly, not sleeping, not eating or over-eating and thinking about money pressures all the time, then get some help.

There are also charitable organizations around Parramatta like Lifeline that offer a remarkable service. They will be a sounding board if you just need somebody to review with you what your choices are. Don't let your financial problem destroy your life - in the end it's just money.

Bankruptcy Parramatta, 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 secu

Going Bankrupt in Parramatta - Are you going to get bitten?

When people in Parramatta ask me about Going Bankrupt , I let them know the time-honoured Native American Fable of the little boy and the Rattlesnake. An old rattlesnake asks a passing young boy to carry him to the mountain top to discover one last sunset before he dies. The boy was hesitant, but the rattlesnake promised not to bite him in exchange for the ride. They journeyed together only for the snake to in the end bites the boy despite his promise not to do so. The snake's response was 'You knew what I was when you picked me up.' Receiving the right financial advice in Parramatta when it comes to Going Bankrupt is a lot like that little boy's experience, tangled up with risk and danger, and usually skewed for the benefit of the person presenting the advice. In many cases you'll get bitten except if you know what you've picked up before you move forward (avoid the rattlesnakes). I learned the problem with obtaining financial advice as a teenager,

Going Bankrupt in Parramatta - does it matter if it is voluntary?

Image
When it comes to Going Bankrupt Parramatta , 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 the
