How Michael halved his $133,000 debt and avoided Bankruptcy
Michael’s story
Michael's business closed post-COVID, leaving him with growing debts. After failed attempts to negotiate with creditors, we proposed a Personal Insolvency Agreement (PIA), allowing him to avoid bankruptcy with a reasonable repayment plan and take back control of his finances.

The challenge
Despite generating a strong income post-business closure, compounding debts and uncooperative creditors left Michael trapped in an escalating financial crisis.
The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Asset protection strategy
Formal creditor proposal
Tailored repayment terms
The result
Michael successfully executed a Part X (10) Personal Insolvency Agreement, experiencing immediate relief from creditor harassment. The outcome entirely eliminated the threat of bankruptcy, protected his primary mode of transport, and provided a clear, 5-year framework to become completely debt-free.
Consolidating massive tax debt
After years of running his own business as a shotfirer, Dom was left with $130,000 in debt – mostly owed to the ATO – and no way to manage it as a regular employee. Bankruptcy would have returned nothing to creditors and left him with little to show for his working years. We arranged a Personal Insolvency Agreement, wiping 40% of his debt and consolidating the rest into a single affordable weekly payment, letting him keep his vehicle and move forward free of ATO pressure.
Wiping extreme tax debt
When Kelly’s sole trader tiling business left her with nearly $350,000 in ATO tax debt, losing her home, vehicles, and livelihood felt inevitable. Standard options weren’t viable, and bankruptcy would have ended her business entirely. We structured a Personal Insolvency Agreement, wiping 60% of her debt into a single affordable weekly payment – letting her keep her property, her vehicles, and her business.

Very helpful with working things out with me
Hi I just want to share my experience so far with credit revive, I had the choice of credit repair Australia or credit revive, and I think i definitely made the right choice, credit repair Australia wanted to charge me almost double the amount I am paying with credit revive and i have been looked after very well, I have not one complaint and they took care of all my debts very swiftly and have taken a huge weight off my shoulders, I even think that the people I have dealt with are nicer and more polite and more understanding than credit repair Australia because from memory I had an argument or 2 and hung up on whoever I was talking to with credit repair Australia so i definitely recommend CREDIT REVIVE to anyone who is need of help and are struggling day to day with keeping up with your bills, I have been able to keep my brand new car that i would have surely lost by now if I wasn’t saved by credit revive I am very grateful for their support and services and i have already give them some sales pitches to friends and family in similar situations and I will continue to praise them and steer people in their direction if need be! Thank you for you support i appreciate it very much 😊🙏🏼
