There are certain guidelines and thresholds you must meet to be eligible:
While the specific terms and conditions of each Debt Agreement is unique and particular to the individual and lenders involved, in general, the average Debt Agreement typically lasts between 3 years for non-home owners or 5 years for homeowners. However, you can complete it earlier if you make larger payments than the set amount.
Your credit file rating will be affected, which may limit your ability to incur further debt. Where you complete the agreement (ends under S185N of the Bankruptcy Act), the agreement remains on the credit file & NPII until the longer of 5 years and 1 month from the day the agreement is made, or 1 month from the completion date.
After the listing period, you will have a clean slate from which to rebuild your finances. We have access to a panel of lenders willing to lend money to individuals who have completed Debt Agreements at competitive rates.
A Debt Agreement can impact your employment, especially if you hold a professional license or work in certain industries. Some employers may have policies regarding employees entering into Debt Agreements, and certain professional licenses may be affected. It's important to check with your employer or professional licensing body to understand any potential implications for your career.
A Debt Agreement can include 'provable debts', which are debts that entitle the creditor to participate in dividends paid in a bankrupt estate. Typically, these include unsecured debts such as credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, and other similar obligations. However, secured debts (like home loans or car loans) and certain state debts (such as fines) cannot be included.
Yes.
While you can include joint debts in your Debt Agreement, it's important to note that this agreement does not release the other person from their responsibility for the debt. They will still be liable for their portion of the joint debt.
No.
Not all creditors need to agree to the proposal. As long as creditors representing a majority in value (50.01% of the total dollar amount) of those who vote and are entitled to vote accept the proposal, it becomes legally binding on all creditors.
If you fail to meet the terms of your Debt Agreement or make payments in full and on time, creditors can seek to terminate the agreement. They may then recommence collection proceedings, take legal action, or pursue bankruptcy.
