Hi, I have over £20,000 worth of credit card and catalogue debt that I just can't pay anymore. I recently stopped my part time job (which paid for my debt repayments) due to an operation and won't be able to start working again for a while.

My husband works and pays the bills. He gives me money each week for bits and bobs for the kids etc but I have no earnings as such, and no big expenses.

We don't really have much left over anyway but I just wondered if I am not earning can they take money off my husband if I go bankrupt?
