Joint Account Help

Jjamie · 2020-01-11 20:56:54

I am considering getting w joint account with my partner. I’m self employed but also classed as disabled. My partner works full time. I have a reasonable credit score and his is rubbish. Would having a joint account bring down my credit score?

I would keep your accounts seperate and just help him with his own.

Maybe after some time, the routine of managing money will sink in..... don't do all of the work and not let him see what is going on..... make sure he is involved 100%.

The best way to help is through education and encouragement.
