Just looking for some advice pls

I recently paid off a debt with Shop Direct Group through the above solicitors. This debt is registered as a CCJ on my credit file. I have received a letter from them confirming that the judgement has been paid in full - but they also mention that "in order to obtain a certificate of satisfaction in respect of this, please send a cheque payable to HM Court Service for £15 !!!!

I cant believe I have to pay for this to be shown as satisfied on my record!!

Paying my judgment - what do I do?

What can I do if I pay after one month?

If you cannot pay the debt in one month, you can ask the court to mark the Register 'satisfied' after you have made your final payment. This will tell anyone who searches the Register that you have paid the debt. It will also tell them when you made your last payment.

You will still have to pay a fee and show the court proof that you have paid. The court will give you a 'certificate of satisfaction' but the entry will stay on the Register for six years from the judgment date.

The court can process a certificate of cancellation or satisfaction within 5 days, and not more than 10 days of receipt, but it cannot do this if you do not provide proof of payment, the claim number and the fee. If you do not provide proof of payment the court will need to get this from the creditor and this could take at least one month.
