As credit card and revolving debt rises in the UK, consumers faced with the challenges of managing multiple creditors, high debt, high interest, and the associated emotional burdens are more and more turning to debt consolidation. This is the process of paying of high interest rate debt with a new loan amount that comes with a better annual percentage rate.

Debt consolidation takes a few different forms, but secured homeowner loans are a fast-growing method of consolidating. Secured homeowner loans usually offer the best interest rate for most consumers. Because they are secured by the debtors’ personal property, lenders are more drawn to offer the best rates and terms.

We begin with the creation of the automatic stay. The stay is automatically created at the time of bankruptcy filing.

The automatic stay is actually a unique feature. If a creditor attempts to collect from the debtor in any way after the bankruptcy was filed and the automatic stay was enacted, the court can undo creditor’s actions. For example, if a car was repossessed without bringing a motion to lift stay, that car, can be requested to be returned to the debtor. So let’s say you filed your case, your case has been filed, and all of the sudden one of the creditors that has security on your car, purchased money security interest, comes in and repossesses your car. Well that means you can go and ask the court to make the creditor return the car back to you, because what the creditor did was actually illegal, and the creditor can actually be punished for that. So, the automatic stay has some benefits and one of the actual benefits is that it allows you to stay in a house you are surrendering for almost a year.

Taxes and Bankruptcy

Now, let’s talk about taxes, taxes owed to the government that were accumulated within three years prior to the bankruptcy won’t be discharged. However, if you file your taxes then you can actually get your taxes discharged that were accrued prior to three years of filing. So, let’s say its 2008 right now. Taxes that you were supposed to pay in 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001…. as long as you filed them, can actually be discharged.
