is it worth paying £15 to get a ccj marked as settled?

my partners has got a 4 yr old ccj on her credit report which she paid off a couple of years ago. she's never bothered getting a letter from the creditor and sending it off to get a certificate of satisfaction.

Is there a good reason she should pay to have it marked as settled?

    bump! please guys
  • I would. £15 is annoying but cheap when it boils down to having a clear credit rating. Hth, SF

    I think it helps when you are applying for new loans, cards, mortgages etc, as they can tell it was settled.

    I agree, settled is a lot better.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
