Understanding Bankruptcy in Singapore
Bankruptcy can be a crucial option if you're unable to manage your debts. Before proceeding, it’s essential to understand your choices and how bankruptcy may impact you and your family. Here’s a guide to help you decide if filing for bankruptcy is the right path for you.
Bankruptcy Overview
In Singapore, individuals who owe at least S$15,000 and cannot repay it can voluntarily file for bankruptcy. Creditors can also initiate bankruptcy proceedings against a debtor through the court. Once declared bankrupt, your assets, except your HDB flat, are sold to repay creditors. Most bankruptcies are managed by the Official Assignee (OA), although substantial debts might involve a private trustee.
Why Consider Voluntary Bankruptcy?
Filing for self-bankruptcy can be a relief if:
- You’re unable to repay your debts in full.
- You cannot reach a repayment agreement with your creditors.
- Once bankrupt, your debt and interest are frozen, and you will make reduced monthly repayments to the OA. Creditors can no longer sue you, providing relief from constant financial pressure.
Costs of Self-Filing
Filing for bankruptcy involves specific costs, including a $1,850 deposit to the Official Assignee and other disbursements. Our fee structure remains clear and straightforward, ensuring no unexpected expenses.
