Response to Both Responsible

from David J. Button (davidjohnbutton@supanet.com)
This is basically called "cherrypicking" - you are both jointly and individually (severally) liable for the debt if the property was in joint names - it is a fact of life that the creditor will go for the easiest option, and that, in this case is you. You have rolled over and paid them £30 a month - why should they bother with the other party when they are getting it all from you.

All you can do is try and get your ex-partner to repay some of the debt to you, or perhaps if you were to go bankrupt depending on your circumstances.

Unfortunately, with paying them, you have "started the clock" again so far as court proceedings are concerned, and if you stopped paying, they would no doubt summons you alone.
