FAQ
CCJs will remain on a debtor's credit report from each of the main credit reference agencies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) for a total of six years from the date it was issued. The only way to have a CCJ removed from your credit file is to repay the full amount owed within one month.
There is also no minimum amount of debt required for a CCJ. So even if you're only behind by one or two months, it's up to your creditor if and when they want to apply for a CCJ.
On average, you can expect your credit score to increase by around 250 points.
When you've repaid your CCJ it will be marked as 'satisfied' on your credit report; this looks better than an outstanding judgment, but it will still be difficult to get credit at good rates.
A CCJ for credit agreements under the Consumer Credit Act must be preceded by a warning letter, such as a default notice or a letter before action, at least 14 days before any action is taken.
If you issue a claim online, it is issued immediately and posted out to the defendant in a number of days. If not responded to, you could realistically get a CCJ within a month, as the Defendant has 14 days from service of the claim to respond to it.
``ing to the Limitation Act, a CCJ can only be enforced within 6 years of the order being issued. If you are being chased for defaulted mortgage repayments, for example, your mortgage company has 6 years to pursue you for payment of your CCJ.
Once a creditor has a county court judgment (CCJ) for a debt, the Limitation Act does not put any time limits on how long they have to enforce that judgment. If your CCJ is more than six years old, and the creditor wants to use enforcement action, they must first get permission of the court.
