Questions About Bankruptcy

My husband has recently applied for Bankruptcy and he will be having a telephone interview next week and we are trying to get prepared with what info we think we need but there are a few questions we have and I wondered if anyone could advise. First of all we have no debts in joint names and no bank accounts in joint names. Therefore im confused whether I need to provide any information about my bank account or my salary even though I am not going bankrupt and we have nothing joint? And if so do they need my wage slips or bank statements ?
Secondly I earn £500 a month more than my husband but we have always split 50/50 rent and utilities etc so this is what we put on the application. However after reading some threads on here I am worried he should have put a lesser portion because he earns less than me ? Has he done that wrong ?

If you refuse to engage with the OR (and you cannot be forced to do that) then they assume a 50/50 split of the expenses.
If you provide the evidence on income then they split proportionately.

mine basically phoned me night before told me not to worry, basically went over the forms with me and asked me how I got my self in to debt.
it was a very relaxing interview even had a laugh about some things, had to email 3 months wage slips so she could see what tax I was paying I’m going on a nil tax code and I can keep the tax rebate.
she said she would write to me in 6 months see if any thing had changed after that probably never hear from them again.She said to me they knew I had nothing to hide when I had listed every thing on my forms even the Xbox.1
