I entered a TD back in May/June of this year and just had my review not too long ago however (and I’m probably worrying over nothing which I usually do) since me and my partner, now husband, have lived together (over two years) he has paid in £1000 to my bank each month to cover his parts of bills and basically because he’s no good with money and would rather I split it, paid the bills then we were left with whatever is left as he would just splurge the whole lot a week into being paid. This has been the case for well over two years and was the case with my TD when I entered it and sent in bank statements etc and is the case at my review when I sent in bank statements etc however it has only just dawned on me one day as I was thinking about my TD that this could be seen as quite an amount being put in each month. Basically I’m just worried this may come back to bite me? I honestly can’t temeber whether it was spoken about with the trustee however it was there on each bank statements, each month so I would have thought if there were anything to be said that it would have been brought up by now? Just want to keep myself right!
Hi K1991. As long as the funds can be accounted for in terms of your husband's contribution to the household bills, then I don't see why this should cause any problems. The only way an issue would arise would be if the situation wasn't taken into account properly in the first place (eg the trustee is unaware that your husband is also paying towards the household bills).
