What happens to my credit score if I get married?

I’m in my late 20’s and my soon to be husband is in his early thirties. I have credit card debt, but I’m working on it. I have a couple bank accounts. I also have a really good credit score. My soon to be husband filed for bankruptcy a couple years ago after he got divorced to avoid paying for bills his wife wasn’t paying. He doesn’t have a credit card. He does have a bank account. I have no idea what his credit score is. Will my credit score be affected when we get married? Should we share a bank account when we get married?
Note: His wife bought things and then didn’t pay for the bills for them. They were items she bought and used when they were separated. He didn’t see or use them. When she didn’t pay for them the creditors came after her. She claimed she wasn’t working and then they came after him after they were divorced. He was advised to file bankruptcy so the creditors would stop going after him.

Your credit score should not be affected by his credit, but it could be if you take out joint accounts. Since his credit is bad, have a single bank account in your name only. You can they pay all the household bills. Also, pay and get his credit score. It’s worth knowing what it is. You are entitled to a free credit report. annualcreditreport.com I think is the site to get his free annual credit report.

Doesn’t matter what your last name is … your SSN determines your credit status. Just DON’T sign any loans for him until you’ve been married a while.

The credit score are you want to marry someone who would rather put himself into bankruptcy than face his financial responsibilities never mind.

My personal matter and do anything you contribute according to him causes problems watch out.
For household expenses and comfort in your trust and concerns if proposing this and trust is given freely and do anything you are allowed.

I would make sure your financial situations were straightened out before you think about getting married. You two need to get his FREE credit report from. From there you need to take a look at all of his debt. Is he being honest with you? Are his spending habits within his means? I would oppose opening any joint accounts together, as of yet.
