Will Bankruptcy Affect My Spouse's House?
I have about 32k in debt, mainly credit cards and loan. I am on incapacity benefit and hope one day to return to work. I have a payment plan and have advised that bankruptcy is really my only way of clearing the debt, as I have no real income to afford payments of my debt.
Yourquestion: I have just got married and am keen to clear my debt, and have been advised to go bankrupt. My reservation is how it will affect my husband and his credit and also could he be forced to sell the house.
All the debt is in my name and I have had it long before I met him, also the house is his, I have just moved in with him when we got married. He bought the house 3 yrs before he met me, and its his name on the deeds. He pays all the bills, all I contribute towards is food shopping and fuel for his car, as he drives me places.
My main concern is the house and the effects bankruptcy would have.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.

If you have a serious debt problem, bankruptcy can free you from your debts within 12 months. As a solution for dealing with serious debt, bankruptcy is a last resort. Other debt solutions need to be explored first, to help determine if bankruptcy is the right debt solution for you.
Your financial affairs are put into the hands of an Official Receiver or Trustee, who will control all your assets - and if you own a property, this will also be included. These will be sold and the money used to pay as much as possible to your creditors.
There are consequences to bankruptcy which will affect your finances and work life. You may struggle to borrow money, for example, and will not be able to apply for certain jobs.
For some, bankruptcy is the right option and will put an end to pressure from creditors. Our team of experts are on hand to advise on the best solution to your debt problems - call now on 0800 002 9951.
