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.

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.
