Hi just about to get AD on 18 March, have IPA in place. been with partner for 6 years (pre all my troubles and thru BR) altho we have never lived together/shared same address etc but thinking of doing that now.
Wondered if we had a joint bank account (assumiing we could get one because of my BR) if this would be restricted in any way? Fact is my partner is very solvent, own house & high equity, working at same place for 20 years etc. She knows all about my BR from makeing that decision to where we are now, and has been very supportive.
I am concerened that being joint with her can only be a good thing for me but not so sure vice versa.....has anyone been in similar position?

You probably won't be accepted anyway

Don't do it until your BR drops off your credit file. Being financially linked to a BR will cause her all sorts of problems.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0

Thanks Tiger; thought it might cause her problems and I don't want that. Cheers Charlie0
