Hi Sarah,

As Jan has said, if one of you declare bankruptcy then the other one will be liable for the joint debt.

Do you have any other debts at all? There may be other options. I advise you speak to an expert to chat through your situation.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You don't both have to apply but the solvent partner will be chased for the whole of the joint debt as you are jointly and severally liable for them.

Can one of you afford to make the contractual payments for the loan?

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
