Bankruptcy Services
Bankruptcy Can Be The Smartest Way Forward.
For some, it’s the last resort. For others, it’s the cleanest, fastest route to financial recovery. If you’re considering bankruptcy, we’ll guide you through it — expertly, respectfully, and with no judgment.
When Is BankruptcyThe Right Option?
Bankruptcy is often seen as a worst-case scenario — but that’s not always true.
At Alan McGee & Co., we help people explore all available insolvency solutions — and when bankruptcy is the right option, we guide clients through the entire process from start to finish.
Bankruptcy may be appropriate if:
- Your debts are too large to repay through a PIA or DSA
- You have little or no disposable income to make ongoing repayments
- You’ve already explored other options without success
- You want to make a clean break and start again
We’ll help you assess your situation, understand the implications, and make the right choice.


What Is Bankruptcy?
Once bankruptcy is complete:
You are no longer liable for most debts
Creditors must stop pursuing you
You can rebuild your financial life
You can move forward without fear, shame, or uncertainty
What Happens To My Assets?
If you declare bankruptcy, certain assets may be sold to help repay creditors. However:
You may be able to keep your home, depending on your equity and circumstances
You are allowed to retain a reasonable standard of living
We will help you minimise disruption and protect what matters most

What does it mean to be declared bankrupt?
