Moving in with partner

[simon1973]

Hi, I am currently about half way through my IVA and possibly will be looking to move in with my partner. She owns her own house and has around £70k equity. All the bills are in her name along with mortgage and this would not change.

How can I ensure that her income and equity is not taken into account, as she would be loosing tax credits when I move in, so would need to ensure that she wouldn't lose anymore.

Other option is not moving in for 2 & half years until IVA complete.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon

Your partners income is only used to make sure that you are paying your fair share for living at the property and that your disposible income has not changed.Your partners equity is 100% safe

Thanks, makes us feel a lot better to know that.

I assume i'm ok contributing to the bills, as long as not the mortgage then?

If it feels right to move in with your partner, then don't put your life on hold for the sake of the IVA. You might not get the chance in 2 1/2 years!

You can make a contribution to the bills and pay rent to your partner, but try and make sure that this does not jeopardise the ability to continue your contractual repayments.

Hi Simon,

I agree with Melanie, don't put your life on hold for another 2.5 years. Speak to your I.P, discuss changes to the income and expenditure and keep them in the loop.

Hi Simon,

It is always good practice to speak to your IP whenever there is going to be a major change in your circumstances.
