A&L Bank Account Application

I'm thinking of applying for the A&L bank account (via Quidco, of course!), but when you apply, you have to have no history of CCJ or Bankruptcy. Now, back in 2001, August to be precise, I acquired my one and only CCJ, which was paid off in September 2002.

So, come August, anyone running a credit report on me won't see that CCJ, although I'll still know that it existed. This is where the stupid question comes in: after August, could I honestly apply for an A&L bank account and state categorically that I do not have a history of CCJ?

I've been living with this thing for so long that I feel like it's always going to be like a millstone around my neck!

Many thanks.

    After 6 years it will drop off your report so you can say that you do not have any CCJ's.

    Thanks, keren29. I think I just needed to hear (see?) someone say that.

    Have a great time in Blackpool - I'm not going, but I work just down the road from the "Kiss Me Quick" capital!

    Thanks again.
