I'm on a debt management plan...
I live with my partner.

If in the future we were to marry, would this affect the debt management plan at all?

Thanks :)

Edit: Just to add, the debts are in my name, not joint.

    Don't think so.

    If credit agreements are in joint names, marriage is irrelevant as you are financially associated anyhow. The opposite applies too.

    No. Debts are in your name, you are responsible for them.

    The only change would be that if you have anything jointly financially then his credit rating could be impacted.

    He will never be responsible for your debts though.
