Get a copy of your credit report You can get a copy of your credit report from a credit reference agency to see if you have a CCJ against you. If you pay the debt within 1 month of the date of the CCJ If you pay the debt in full within 1 month of the date of the CCJ, you can apply to the court have your entry in the Register removed.
You might be able to get credit again once the CCJ has been removed. Change an entry in the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines You might be able to get your entry in the Register changed before the 6 years is up if you pay the debt off more than a month after the date of the CCJ.
You might find it easier to get credit when your record has been changed. Once you have evidence that a CCJ should be removed from your report, please get in touch. If you haven't been notified of a CCJ by post, but there's a CCJ on your credit report, your first step should be to identify the case number and contact the court where the judgment was made.
One way to find these details is to get your Experian Credit Report. When the CCJ is removed, your credit score should go up too — making you an all-round stronger applicant for future finance. When you reply, you can either agree that you owe the debt, or say that you want to dispute it.
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. But the good news is your credit rating should improve as your CCJ ages, so long as you manage any other credit agreements sensibly.
You can check your score anytime with a free Experian account — it's updated every 30 days if you log in. One way to stay in control of your finances — while you have a CCJ and after — is to sign up for a paid CreditExpert subscription. What is a CCJ? You'll receive information about your CCJ in the post, at which point you can choose: Pay back the full amount straight away Ask to pay later or in instalments Dispute the claim or amount owed if you think the creditor's claim is incorrect Claim against the creditor if you think the creditor owes you money, e.
Who will see my CCJ? There are two exceptions to this: If you pay the full amount within one calendar month of the CCJ being issued, it won't be recorded If you dispute the CCJ and prove to the courts it was issued in error, your CCJ may be cancelled or 'set aside', meaning it won't be recorded If recorded, your CCJ will remain on the register for six years.
How will a CCJ affect my credit profile? How long does a CCJ stay on your credit report? Can I remove a CCJ from my credit report? You can ask us and the other two credit reference agencies to remove a CCJ from your credit report if you can prove that: You paid the full amount within one calendar month of the CCJ being issued It's been six years since you received the CCJ in this case it should be automatically removed You disputed the CCJ and it was cancelled or 'set aside' by the courts An insurance company was responsible for the debt Once you have evidence that a CCJ should be removed from your report, please get in touch.
The court may check with the claimant whether they have in fact received full payment. Even if you dispute the CCJ, it may still be better to pay it within a month, particularly if it is only for a small amount such as a parking fine. This is because the consequences of having the CCJ on your credit record could be disastrous. It may be advisable to pay it but let the claimant know that:. The CCJ will still be on the Register, but credit checks will also show that you paid it, albeit not on time.
After 6 years, the CCJ will be removed automatically from your credit record without you having to do anything. However, the claimant can still enforce the CCJ. For example, they could instruct bailiffs or apply for an order against your bank. If your CCJ is already quite old, waiting for the 6 years to expire may be the best option.
