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 Sydney 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 Sydney, 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 Sydney are concerned.

When it comes down to Going Bankrupt in Sydney, there are a great deal of choices that we get given depending upon who we are, who we talk to, and what exactly has happened. The most common confusion I see with Going Bankrupt is when it comes to selecting between Debt Consolidation, Personal Insolvency Agreements, and Bankruptcy itself. Should I consolidate my debts?

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

When people in Sydney 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 Sydney 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, and it h

Bankruptcy in Sydney - Will I lose my home if I go bankrupt?

Image
Bankruptcy in  Sydney  is a tricky process, but I know from meeting with thousands facing the possibility of bankruptcy over the years, that not much worries people more than the idea of losing the family home. Almost everyone is sentimentally connected to their home - it's where the children have grown up, it's where you take pleasure in life on a day to day base. Will you lose your house if you go bankrupt? The response is a resounding maybe. (not very helpful, I know) People typically presume it's an inevitable consequence and a part of Bankruptcy, and therefore push themselves to the brink of insanity to not lose the family home. But when it comes to the whole process of Bankruptcy, a key strength of Debt Agreements and Personal Insolvency Agreements is you can keep your house. The reason is simple: you've agreed to pay back the debt you are in. So how is it possible to keep my Sydney house, you ask? It's easier if I explain the basic theory behi
