CCJ no longer pursued but...

Options
Hi, hoping someone can help please..

I moved house over two years ago and it wasn't until earlier this year I received a redirected letter addressed to my old address saying that a CCJ I knew nothing about was "no longer being pursued".. upon looking at my credit file I realised it was for a parking fine from over three years ago. My question is, if it's not being pursued, what does it mean? And how do I go about removing it? Will it cost me anything? I'm trying to get credit for a loan and not getting very far so need to do something ASAP. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    You say over 3 years ago, is it 3 and a half years, 4, 5 or 6 ?

    What aren't you getting very fat with ? Do you mean with getting a loan ?

    The CCJ was put on my report in July 2014 for a parking fine in February 2013.

    I've applied for credit once (for some window shutters) and got refused and I've tried to apply online for a loan and been refused. The only other thing that's negative on my credit report is the electoral roll as for some reason we weren't on it but we are now and have been since August 2015.

    Hi,

    You may as well stop applying for credit, as you won't be accepted with a CCJ on your record (not by mainstream lenders anyway).

    You cannot have it removed.

    It will fall off your file six years after the judgement date.

    Only then will your credit file repair itself.

    if you have a ccj , then they took you to court and got a default in your absence debt enforcement and action ltd were working for CEL


    do if they took you to court wwhy would they be giving you a "notice of discontinuance" now?


    you can apply fpor a set adide for this but you will have to be quick and it will cost you £255 , after this they may retry court but with help from the parking forum you would win


    just a quick question , the ticket was it whilst you were parked or a member of staff at a coop store?

    Thanks for the reply, it was while I was parked.. I had no idea it was a limited time car park and was photographed.

    Why would I need to be quick to get it set aside? I do t understand what a letter of discontinuance is either!

    I do not understand the letter either , however there is something "funny" going on with DEAL , and a huge test case (private parking) that was adjurned (50 people) but then disappeared from all court records , this case was coop and coop staff


    for a moment I thought I had found the missing link


    you have to apply for a set aside within a set time of knowing about it

    Well funnily enough it was a coop car park!! If you could find the link I would be very grateful- thank you.

    I've probably missed the deadline now as it's been over a year :(
