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.

I am extremely satisfied with the service Kylie provided. When I first came to you, I was struggling feeling frustrated, depressed and carrying so much stress. There were times during this past month that I felt like giving up, going through so much left me with little energy or drive to keep gathering documents and moving forward. But I am so deeply grateful Kylie was there every step of the way. She patiently guided me, walked me through every part of the process, and gave me 100% support exactly when I needed it most. Thanks to her care and dedication, I was finally able to get everything sorted and signed off today. I truly recommend this service to anyone needing help.
