Hi again hellybelly
I don't understand why Experian need all of that stuff. This is usually a simple on-line application.
As you only have few debts, it seems that your credit rating may be starting to be affected by your partner's. You can address this by filing a Notice of Disassociation from him with the credit agencies.
If he does decided to go bankrupt, this is unlikely to affect you - although you are aware it is publicly advertised in the local paper. To apply for bankruptcy, your partner should speak to the local County Court who will be able to provide him with a bankruptcy pack of information and the application forms. Alternatively these can be downloaded from The Insolvency Service website. He will then need to attend Court for the hearing of his bankruptcy application, following which (if an order is granted) the Official Receiver will be appointed his Trustee. If he has surplus disposable income, he may be required to make payments over a three year period.
Hope this helps.
