Title: Seperation Agreement and payment of bills.
Post by: swisstoni3669 on April 11, 2026, 11:50:43 am

Good Morning all,

I have a small predicament that I could do with some advice on...

My partner and I seperated in September 2024 after nearly 20 years together... A seperation agreement was drawn up between us via a solicitor to divide assets and I complied with all requests made in the agreement. Under the agreement, my ex-partner was to live in our house rent-free and pay all the bills associated with the property. The seperation agreement states 'Pursuant to the transfer of the Property, X (me ex-partner) will be responsible for the payment of the mortgage and all other outgoings on the property and will indemnify Y (me) in respect of the same. I was removed from the Title Deed of the property in May 2025
All has gone smooth until now, I have just noted on my credit file that BT have an outstanding bill in my name for the property for the final payment of our Broadband and TV contract that was taken out in March 2024 on a 2 year contract and which was cancelled by my ex in February. She was only a named person for access on the account... I never cancelled it as the leaving fees were too high and she was paying it under the agreement anyway! I have sent my Ex the bill that I have downloaded from the account (she has paid them all up to that point) but she as not responded as we were never on speaking terms since the seperation.

What are my options as I don't want this missed payment on my credit file obviously... So it looks like I'm going to have to pay it.. (£450!!)  Would this class as a breach of the Seperation Agreement which I could persue through the small claims court?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
