bit concerned and need serious advice, my other half moved in with me this year but we've always kept our finances v seperate as he's self employed and works down in london anyway - he lives with me but actually lives down in london in the week working and oobviously i have my iva so finances v seperate and my iva person has always understood that but we're thinking of getting married - my parents will apy for small registery office ceremony - but am concerned that they'll try and get him to pay towards my iva which simply isnt going to work - should i be worried/not go ahead with wedding??
Hi oopssidaisies, congratulations on this exciting phase of your relationship! Your partner will not be expected to pay towards your IVA as they are not his debts. I assume your I&E has been viewed following the change in living arrangements as I would imagine he is contributing to the household costs in some way? This is the only thing that would need to happen if it hasn't already. You will also need to let your IP know your plans. Your new husband might want to put a notice of disassociation on his credit file to make sure he is not affected once you are married. And also avoid opening a joint account unless it is completely away from any of your creditors.
All that aside, happy wedding planning!
