Bankruptcy in Rockhampton - Are you going to get bitten?


When people in Rockhampton ask me about Bankruptcy, I let them know the time-honored Native American Fable of the little boy and the Rattlesnake. An old rattlesnake asks a passing young boy to carry him to the mountain top to see one last sunset before he dies. The boy was reluctant, but the rattlesnake pledged not to bite him in exchange for the ride. They travelled together only for the snake to ultimately bite the boy despite his vow not to do so. The snake's reply was 'You knew what I was when you picked me up.

Obtaining the right financial advice in Rockhampton when it relates to Bankruptcy is a great deal like that little boy's encounter, filled with risk and danger, and generally skewed for the benefit of the individual supplying the advice. In many cases you'll get bitten except if you know what you've picked up long before you move forward (avoid the rattlesnakes). I learned the problem with getting financial advice as a teenager, and it has been fundamental to Bankruptcy. I'd been working hard for a few years, and saved up a small amount of money I wanted to invest. It was the early 1980s so interest rates were rather high and investing your money was quite profitable. I spent time researching several investment options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It was crystal clear that they had more money than I did: they had nice suits and plush offices, they all seemed to exude confidence and have all the answers. What struck me was that they all had an extremely different strategy of what I should do. This baffled me a lot that it put me off the entire idea of picking any of them.

I'm sure by now you have read enough on the internet to be totally unclear about Bankruptcy and just what to do. It would undoubtedly be easier for me to help you comprehend the nature of the financial snakes you might be grabbing while you are attempting to get to the bottom of your financial problems in Rockhampton. Essentially, you have to try and understand what your overarching alternatives are, do your own research into where to proceed with your strategy for Bankruptcy, and then approach just what you feel is best in Rockhampton for your requirements. Essentially, you have 3 options for who to turn to.

The first option is a Solicitor - This may seem the go-to solution when you appear to be in trouble. But certainly there is only just so much help they can give on this matter. There are absolutely specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their expertise comes along with a hefty price.

Another alternative you may think of is your accountant - they are incredibly useful and vital to the task of running your business, but for the most part, when you are thinking of Bankruptcy, your accountant won't be much help to you at all.

Your best choice? A Financial Counsellor that can talk about debt consolidation, personal insolvency agreements, and pretty much all you have to know when it comes to Bankruptcy.
