Amen Masden thats pretty much my take on it as well. Bonuses for early payment make absolutely no difference whatsoever to us expats whose loans are rocketing upwards, I look forward to the collapse o ...

I haven't heard of any such event happening and if it did it would definitely make the papers. Even the govt isn't stupid enough to restrict your movements based on a loan agreement. If they did none ...

I would definitely be going to the papers with that story though. Before you do though make sure you get some phone call evidence from the ird.

One thing that just occurred to me after reading today that the bankruptcy period in the UK is only 12 months is if you declared yourself bankrupt in england does it carry over to NZ? That way you mig ...

I'd be talking to an NZ laywer to confirm any such law before talking to the IRD and re-alerting them thats for sure.
The government has pissed me off too much to go back anyhow. NZ's a beautiful pla ...

No I don't know of anyone who has declared bankruptcy but I just dont worry about it It can go up to upteen billion dollars for all I care.
