( a slow process ).there is an overdraft on the account which is to date untouched.if he draws the money out from the overdraft, when i go bankrupt will he be chased for all or only half?.he has set up a new account for himself but they are dallying over the overdraft process due to paperwork being sent here there and everywhere.

Posted - 09 April 2008 : 09:09:26 hi, he has set up a new account for himself but the bank are taking ages to finalise it.the overdrft balance on our current account is zero.he has told me he considered using some of the overdraft until his new account is ready.I have not listed an overdraft on my debts so where do i stand if he uses it? I don't wish to declare bankruptcy and get chased for money after.
thanks
