Response to Ex partner's settled his part but they are still chasing me !

Er..they are NOT legally entitled to anything pertaining to your new partner's finances,unless you are claiming he supports you completely and have no income of your own. That you have to prove and only to a Court, not to them. However, they are not allowed to ask for your partner's payslips, bank statements etc. If he has assets, they must be in his SOLE name and again your Lender can have no claim on them if they are. My Lender tried it's damndest to get info about third parties (even my Dad!!) as I just flatly refused to give them anything more after years of hassle. Your Lender might very well take you to court, as it seems some Lender's are getting all hormonal again, but nothing much will happen in the interim. They can chase you even if your ex settled with them but they do not have to see an I&E before accepting your matching settlement. All they are trying to prove is that you are a better bet recovery wise than your ex. Give them nothing to go and and make it plain you will fight them tooth and nail. Bet they settle.
