Hi
this property is safe as long as you have never made a financial contribution towards it, which I suspect is the case. You do not therefore need to make any mention of it either on the SoA or at interview.

Hey P280 and welcome to the forum
I can confirm what John has said about the IPA/O, as i went br (hubby did not) and as im not earning there is obviously no DI.

Hi P280
I have been carrying out some research on the issue and so as to put your mind at rest - if you declare bankruptcy and have no income then it's irrelevant what you list as household I&E as all DI will be from your partner's income, who is not declaring bankruptcy.
In this circumstance an IPA cannot be proposed by the OR.

Hi
then all should be well. All you need to ensure is the Income and Expenditure sections are completed in such a way as a) you do not claim any essential expenditures to the household which are over and above the allowances permitted by the OR, and b) you ensure that the total income to the household does not exceed the total expenditure figure.
Therefore there is no disposable income as such.
This is simple to acheive by asking questions on this forum when you are listing the details in these 2 particular sections.

Hi
your husband is unlikely to be pursued for the debt as such. Although there could be an issue if you are living in a mortgaged property. If you are but you have never made contributions to the household through your own income then the property is safe.
If you have no property or other major assets then you'll be fine as long as you get the details down on the court papers correctly.
