    MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to the Bankruptcy board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    ISeriously, getting married to someone does not make you liable for his debts. Don't put anything into joint names!

    By ex-husband was very savvy about this. He got CCs in MY name, run up debt then f*cked off!!!!!:mad: :mad:

    You are doing well to protect yourself......It's horrible to think of all the things that can go wrong when in the throes of love.
