I didn't realise that I could still claim. I thought too much time had passed. Thank you

Its a decent chunk of money so you should do what you can to get it back. I hope you get a chunk or all of it back.

There is no time limit on these kind of things.


You would need legal advice as he was classed as your partner, not husband, I am not sure of your rights here, but you would be entitled to something.

Legal Aid these days is virtually non existent, you could try and find a solicitor who would work on a no win no fee basis.

Sometimes the initial step in attempting to claim the money will be enough for him to offer you something at least. Something is always better than nothing.
The same situation happened with a friend after moving into a partners house, they estimated they put around £10000 in over the period of time and got back around half that amount but considering you put a huge chunk in up front then you should at least be entitled to that. If you have bank statements from the time then that will all go in your favour.
