Is Lloyds the only creditor you have or are there others?

A loan with LLoyds TSB is one line of credit
A credit card in your name with Lloyds TSB is a second line of credit
A credit card in your partners name (NOT A ADDITIONAL CARD HOLDER)with Lloyds TSB is a third line of credit...........and so on

This is my understanding - when our IVA was approved we had a Natwest overdraft, loan and credit card and they were listed three times with three separate amounts.

Hope this helps

Surely a credit card in a partners name counts as one line of credit for them, not a third one for you?

For an IVA you need more than one creditor regardless of the number of debts you have with them.

Sorry it might be a confusing post - I meant if your partner has a credit card in their own name with a separate account number - not where they are simply additional card holders to the same account.

I stand by what I said though Lulu. If it is a seperate card in anothers name with a seperate account number, then it has to be a first line of credit for that person with that creditor, not a third line for the original person.

Perhaps if Melanie or one of the other experts is about they can settle this for us?

People who have the ability to have cards on their partner's accounts are not liable for the actual debt - even if it relates to their spending.

Hope this clarifies any confusion!

I rather got the impression that we were talking about seperate accounts. For example, my hubby and I both had HSBC credit cards but they were totally seperate and treated as such.

Perhaps it's just me being thick!

I don't think so Jan, I just think that perhaps the original post is a little confusing.

It would be good if the original poster came on and clarified things for us.
