Bankruptcy question

It looks very likely my Husband who is the sole wage earner will lose his job next month. If he does it will probably mean I will not be able to keep up my credit repayments and will have to go Bankrupt.

The thing that is really bothering me is that my Husband is a discharged bankrupt. He went bankrupt when we seperated for a couple of years.

How would this affect my potential bankruptcy?

Many Thanks

    I don't think it will affect you as BR is personal to you.

  • Totally agree with Mike, am sure there will be no problems in connection with your husband's previous history.

  • I was wondering if because of the financial link between us, it could be viewed as reckless?

    I was also wondering from the possessions point of view too.

    The OR won't be interested with your goods, not unless you've got a new state of the art plasma tv, or any oil painting of value

    A rule of thumb: any thing worth over a grand, he might be
