I have no expertise but do you have a solicitor? Priority will be for you and (if applicable) your children to be safe and secure.

Do you have control over your money and housing? Is he staying well away from you?

The detective will let you know the next step - whether they will write up the case and send it to cps for decision, or quite often they let you know the evidence isn't sufficient and they will record the case but take no further action.
If the case does go forward they will let you know if the bail will extend till the next step. If no further action they will lift the bail

Meanwhile, did they refer you to women's aid? I assume they won't refer you to an idva as it doesn't sound high risk (not saying it isn't an awful thing to go through)

My bank statements have proofs that the money has gone into his account. My bank logins had his contact number. I went to the banks and got my details updated. All my wages got transferred back to his account after the loan amounts are deducted. I checked with banks about personal loans and they said it was applied online. Even my govt gateway had his phone number which I got updated now. Will the police considered these as evidence. Should i be submitting them to police or they will do their own research. Before I got my details changed at the banks, I took screenshots which shows the contact details.

Provide everything.

They will use what is applicable to the case but they are u likely to go looking for such information as they won't automatically know it exists.

But mainly well done for taking this leap to freedom

Have you applied for an occupation order to keep him out of the marital home?

Have you changed the WiFi password and looked at resetting your phone.

Is he tech savvy? Could there be a key logger or spyware on your phone? Tracker on your car?

Show quote history

Contact your local women's aid and they will support you. They can also help you with legal aid etc.
I would keep everything documented. Check with pc and they should normally give a link to upload all your evidences. If they haven't done so call 101 quote your case number and ask.
In my case they absolutely didn't care, but at least I did everything I could. So later on when I got physically assaulted all those previous records definitely gave a better whole picture of the case.

Anyway you need proper legal advice. I'd suggest women's aid first they are amazing
