Re: is my boyfriend whom i live with liable for my debts ...

Liability for a debt depends entirely on being named as such on the credit agreement, so he will not be liable for them.

If you are struggling with your repayments and need assistance from your creditors to stop interest and charges they will (in most cases) want to see a full view of all household income and outgoings to ascertain how much you can repay.

This is something a debt advisor can give you further guidance on once they have evaluated your full circumstances
