Financial assoc with discharged bankrupt? Yay or nay?

I was discharged from bankruptcy Dec 2012. My partner and I are thinking of getting a joint account for bills and household expenses but will she be negatively affected by my bankruptcy if we do this?

Having checked both credit file we are not financially linked at the moment. Will it cause problems for her if we become financially linked through a joint bank account?

Thanks.

    Yes it will negatively affect her. Wait until the BR is off your credit file before getting a joint account.
