How Dom wiped $52,000 in debt and kept his motor vehicle
Dom’s story
After operating as a company and then a sole trader for four years, Dom accumulated $130,000 in debt, primarily owed to the ATO. Unable to manage the mounting tax liabilities, he closed his business and transitioned to PAYG employment. Despite the career change, the historical debt remained unmanageable. We helped Dom set up a Personal Insolvency Agreement (PIA) to consolidate his obligations into an affordable weekly repayment plan, protecting his motor vehicle and allowing him to start fresh without the stress of ATO debt.

Dom successfully executed a Personal Insolvency Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief. The outcome eliminated the threat of bankruptcy, saved his motor vehicle, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework of single weekly payments to finally clear his name and start again.
Halving severe business debt
When Michael’s business collapsed in the wake of COVID, he was left with $133,000 in debt across the ATO, credit cards, and personal loans. After attempts to negotiate directly with creditors failed, we structured a Part X Personal Insolvency Agreement – allowing him to retain his vehicle, avoid bankruptcy, and settle his debt at just 50 cents in the dollar.
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.
