Good evening, I am considering a DRO and meet the criteria. Does anyone know if a joint bank account holders credit score would be negatively affected once I am in a DRO, please?

Your history may be taken into account when assessing anyone financially associated with you.1

Yes it will. I would suggest as part of preparing for the DRO that you get off the joint account and open your own account and that your partner checks all three credit reference agencies and make sure he’s not linked to you.1
