What is a PIA?

A PIA is part of the Bankruptcy Act 1966, specifically under Part X (10). This legal framework provides a formal mechanism for individuals in Australia who are facing financial difficulties and wish to avoid bankruptcy by reaching an agreement with their creditors.

Why is choosing an experienced trustee important for a PIA?

The trustee's role is vital for ensuring that the process is fair, transparent, and legally compliant, thus protecting the interests of both the debtor and the creditors. If you’re considering entering a PIA, it’s important to select a trustee who is experienced and well-regarded in the field of insolvency.

What are the stages involved in a Personal Insolvency Agreement with TTJ Advisory?

Stage 1: Assessment of Your Financial Situation 


Financial Review: 

TTJ Advisory, as your trustee, begins by conducting a thorough review of your financial affairs to understand your assets, liabilities, income, and expenditures. 


Feasibility Analysis: 

We then assess the feasibility of a PIA, determining whether your financial situation supports the formulation of a viable proposal to creditors. 


Stage 2: Preparation and Proposal Development 


Proposal Creation

As your appointed trustee, we help you in formulating a proposal that outlines how the debts will be dealt with. This might include partial repayments, lump sum payments, asset liquidations, or a combination of these. 


Documentation: 

We prepare all necessary documentation required to present the proposal to creditors, ensuring legal requirements are met and information is clearly communicated. 


Stage 3: Liaising with Your Creditors 


Communicating with Creditors

As your trustee, we act as an intermediary between you and your creditors. We will provide creditors with all necessary information regarding your financial status and the terms of the proposal. 


Meeting Coordination: 

We organize and chair the meeting of creditors where the proposal is presented and voted on. 


Stage 4: Implementation and Oversight 


Administering the Agreement: 

If the creditors accept your proposal, we are then responsible for implementing and administering the PIA according to its terms. 


Distribution of Payments: 

We will collect payments from you, manage the distribution to creditors as per the agreement, and ensure compliance with the agreed terms. 


Overall Legal and Regulatory Compliance 


Legal Guidance: 

Trustees provide legal guidance throughout the process, ensuring that your proposal complies with bankruptcy laws and regulations. 


Record Keeping

They maintain all required records and submissions to the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) as required under the Bankruptcy Act. 


Final Stage: Conclusion of the Agreement 


Completion: 

Upon fulfillment of all terms of the PIA, the trustee assists in concluding the process, which includes preparing final reports for both the debtor and creditors, and notifying AFSA.
