Can my husband claim after divorce

ednamay78

Hi there my husband's ex wife ran up nearly £35,000 worth of debt with many different cards, and a big one with the mortgage, can my husband claim after 5 years and on his own as he does not have anything to do with his ex wife anymore
Thank you in advance

You can't "claim" anything for money that was borrowed.

Wasn't all the finances sorted out as part of the divorce settlement ?

What are you looking to 'claim' back? If you mean charges and ppi then it would depend whether the cards were in his name or not, if they were then yes he should be able to - check the guide at the top of the forum.

one thought though, has SHE already claimed this back... ?

There was about 4 credit cards all with charges but 2 loans that were forged in his name but wondering whether the miss sell etc would come in

if they really were forged, then the police should be involved. They will, of course, want to know why it took you five years to contact them though, and rightly so too. They' also love to know why it was being paid if h genuinely did not know what these were for.


You really should read up about Section 78 of the CCA too - it's the thing all these "misselling" bandwagonners are latching onto.

Only a few cases have been upheld and there have often been circumstances involved that cannot be discussed outside of the courtroom.

If you want to "claim back" the money that was used and borrowed, then I don't understand - Banks are NOT free money dispensers. Like it or not they're not charities and are not there to give you money for free.
