CCJ query

I have just checked my credit report and found a CCJ on there that i had forgot about (i have had bad credit and not even tried to get any for last 5 years)

It is only for £120 but isnt showing as satisfied, how would i go about paying this off.

I was told by a broker today that some mortgage companies would not take too much notice as its such a small amount and was 5 years ago.

my current credit score is 567, would getting this CCJ paid off help significantly

I dont have any of the original paperwork, how would I go about paying it, I have the reference number on experian so could i just ring up northampton court and ask them to send me out a payment slip?

Or would they start chasing for more, if anyone has the number to call that would also be great

thanks

    Do you know what the debt is for & how much was owed?

    im not sure, £120 is what is owed. I remember getting a letter from northampton county court but was burying head in the sand at the time
