I am in Canada so maybe rules are different. When I left the N, I went to the bank and signed a form to remove my name from the joint account. I told him that he had to go in and sign off, too.
UNLESS the N went in to sign me off, it remains in both names. He didn't go in.
I do NOT contribute to the account, but I still receive all his bank statements because my name is still on the account, and this account is linked to my address with my address change upon leaving him, for all accounts in my name, including Visa.
The thing is, the N requires another name on all of his holdings so the government cannot seize his assets, as the assets are someone else's too. So he uses this bank account and my name is still covering him, just because he won't go in and sign me off.
I dissolved our partnership in the business and I know my name is taken off that.
Then about 3 years after leaving, I remembered the business account, in both names, different bank. I went in without the full information, but I am a good customer there, with my own accounts, and I look so honest and sweet, that they completed a form for me to sign off, and THIS time it was the bank manager who called the N to come in and sign me off. I asked later and he did go in!
Anything like that in your country?
