Hi Abbie9, welcome to the forum.

Can you please post a bit more info regarding when this was and amounts involved, or give one of the experts a call for a chat.

Hi Abbie,
the angle that the OR may be looking at, is:
1. By your ex funding the extension, the OR will be considering whether he put assets beyond the reach of creditors, by using it in this way.
2. As you state, your ex also owed you money, therefore they will also be considering his funding of the extension as what is called a preference payment to a creditor(preferences to relatives are viewed more serious than those made to banks etc).

So one thing is that they may be looking at obtaining a BRO for your ex because of the above, but they may also be looking at recovering the money he provided for the extension from you.

However whether your ex has any beneficial interest(which is what the OR may also be looking at) has to be weighed up by the contributions he made, which I can't advise on,but the link to the following cases(Burns v Burns, Gissing v Gissing)on this subject may help:
