I think I made a mistake on universal credit application

So it asked if I pay rent and I think I said yes but I don't pay rent as I get barely any money so I don't contribute to rent or bills, the family members I live with pay all that and now I'm worried I'm going to get in trouble as the universal credit people are going to do checks and find out that I don't pay rent as my name isn't on the rent paperwork. Is there a way I can change it on the application [I applied online] or is it too late and I'm going to get a fine or worse? If I'm fined, I wouldn't be able to pay it as I'm broke.

No, but you could be made formally bankrupt.

Thanks, I phoned them, turns out I didn't make a mistake. The person said I did nothing wrong on my end as I I said I lived with close relatives which means I'm not responsible for paying the rent.
