    i'm a member of an online credit agency and when i first joined it last july it was showing a ccj on there and now its gone... i dont think i have had a ccj of anyone else so i think its pretty likely itwas off them.
    the thinking is its not showing now because its more than 6 years?

    Hi Mark

    This factsheet explains things better than I can

    Factsheet | Liability for Debts and the Limitation Act

    If judgement was obtained over six years ago then there is an issue about whether they can enforce it without permission of the court. But when you were asked 'is there a ccj?' you replied 'I think so' and you need to be able to answer 'no' if you're going to use a statute barred defence.

    Registry Trust holds details beyond the six-year timescale
