Bankruptcy has traditionally been viewed as a complex and lonely process, with many negative stigmas attached. This does not need to be the case. In fact there are many myths surrounding bankruptcy, including:
Loss of property
This is not always the case. If there is equity in your property it will need to be paid to your trustee, however, if there is a shortfall to your mortgage payments, most circumstances will permit you retaining the property. You will need to keep up the mortgage payments from this point.
Job loss
Unless your employment contract stipulates you cannot be personally insolvent, or your line of work is prevented by law from practicing while insolvent (such as real estate or nursing), you will not lose your job.
Loss of automobile
You are able to keep your vehicles up to the threshold value of $7,700. If you have finance on your vehicle, you should be able to keep it as long as the equity is below $7,700 and you continue to make the finance payments.
Bankruptcy is the end
This is not the case. The stigma associated with bankruptcy has changed over the years and bankruptcy is now seem as an option to allow you a fresh start to rebuild your financial position.
Permanent record on credit file
This is not the case. Your bankruptcy remains on your credit file for 5 years from the date which you became bankrupt or 2 years from when your bankruptcy ends, whichever is the earliest.
All debts eliminated
Not true. Most debts are extinguished, however, some exceptions exist which include; HECS debt, child support and court imposed fines.
Inability to obtain credit whilst bankrupt
As a bankrupt you can obtain credit or hire or leased/goods up to a limit of $5,546.
