    Well, the right to collect whatever is due under a CCJ can certainly be sold.

    Do you have grounds to remove it?

    Presumably the original claim forms from the court were sent to a previous address? If so, had you informed the creditor of your current address at the time? And do you have proof?

    If not, then you may have trouble getting it set aside, as it is normally fair to serve papers at your last known address.

    But there is not much info in your post, so hard to say.

    When you had the account with barclaycard did you live at your current address or at the address the CCJ is registered to?

    You opened the account in 2002? when did you stop paying back? does your credit report show a default dated in 2007 and a CCJ in 2007?

    Essentially if it was your debt and you owe the money the only way to clear the CCJ is to pay the debt - it will then show on your credit report as a settled CCJ, until it drops off your report 6years after the date of the CCJ.
