Hi all, I went bankrupt in 2010 received an early discharge in 2011, I received a three year IPA order and repaid in full, since being discharged I have never had any adverse credit or a single debt, I have a credit card with 0 balance, and savings.
My partner who has no history of poor credit and I applying for a shared ownership property, I have declared my bankruptcy as it asked if you have ever been declared bankrupt (I am aware of after 6 years is drops of Credit file.)
Does anybody know after 13 years of good credit will the Bankruptcy still go against me.
Thanks

Some lenders won't lend to anyone with a historic bankruptcy. Santander being one. Be careful to avoid such lenders or use an experienced shared ownership broker.I am a mortgage broker.
