Exploring the Pros and Cons of Voluntary Insolvency
Voluntary insolvency is a major decision that can help you regain control—but it’s important to weigh both the benefits and the drawbacks.
Escaping Overwhelming Debt
One major benefit of voluntary insolvency is stopping interest and creditor harassment. If handled correctly, it may offer a clear path to financial recovery.
Legal Protection
Entering into voluntary insolvency can provide legal protections that pause collections, offering space to plan your next steps.
Asset Risk
While you might gain relief, voluntary sequestration may also involve surrendering assets to pay off debts, and this can include homes depending on the case.
Impact on Credit Record
Voluntary liquidation will damage your credit for several years, making it harder to get credit cards in the future.
Professional Guidance Matters
Before choosing voluntary sequestration, consult professionals to understand whether this is the best option for your specific financial circumstances.
