CCJ expiry

When six years has passed, after a CCJ is entered to your file, if its a charging order, does that expire also, or do I still have to pay it when i sell my house?

cheers

    A charge against a property never expires as far as I know.

    A CCJ does not actually expire after 6years - though if you have paid nothing for 6years your creditor would need to go back to court to get permission to continue to chase you for the debt.

    A charging order will remain until either the debt is paid - and your creditor agrees to remove it, or the house is sold I believe.


    EDIT - sorry I see Fermi already answered, I forgot to refresh the page.
