Hello all,

I completed my IVA early over a year ago and it will remain on my credit file until October 2018. If my wife and I were to open a joint account, would this have a detrimental effect on her ability to get credit in just her name? Nothing big like a mortgage, more credit / store cards. She'd be unlikely to in any event but don't want her credit score to suffer as a result of my own.

Hi,

Until your IVA disappears from your file then it will impact on your wife getting a joint account. With her own applications then she would be fine.

Thanks for the reply. So to clarify; if we had a joint bank account she would still be able to apply for credit in just her name without my IVA effecting the application?

It is best that you keep separate accounts until the end of the IVA.
