I have a question - so I think I have come to a point where I am going to have to take serious action with my debts, due to things outside of my control they have spiralled and I am in way over my head now. I owe about £6000 in total, over a store card (stupid idea back when I first turned 18, 8 years ago now), an overdraft and a credit card.
We have a house with a mortgage, everything is in my partner's name as he was the sole earner when we bought the house and I was just doing part time work around our children.
I don't own a car or anything of any value - so my question is, if I can't repay my debts and make repayment plans etc, none of these companies can touch the house can they? Although I have lived here 6 years, we are not married and my name isn't on any paperwork.
This is the only thing holding me back from taking the next step, so any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.
