Will My Employer Be Notified Of My Bankruptcy?

While bankruptcy is a matter of public record, your employer is usually not notified as long as you can provide any information the Receiver may require related to your wages/earnings, etc.

There can be some instances where a NT or no tax code is placed on your wages and your employer may know what this is related to. You may wish to speak to an advisor to discuss this in more detail and if it will be an issue for you.

How Much Will I Pay Towards The Bankruptcy?

It is difficult to say how much you may be ordered to pay into a bankruptcy as it depends on each person’s unique situation and expenses and if they have the means to make payments.

You may want to complete our eligibility form to see if bankruptcy is the best option for you and if you would be required to pay to the bankruptcy.

What Options Are There Besides Bankruptcy?

The options available to you to avoid bankruptcy will depend on each persons set of circumstances. The most popular alternative is an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement). You must have a disposable income and you must be able to maintain a repayment for 60-months that is affordable to you. The IVA will give you the same benefits as Bankruptcy, you’re able to protect your home and assets whilst writing a large portion of your debt off.

Please phone us to speak to an advisor to discuss this in more detail.
