CCJ Help

Hi, I'm new here so please bear with me.

Basically this morning I received a letter with regards to an old loan I have with HSBC. Its a loan that I took out in 2007 stupidly for my ex. The inevitable happened and we split up, at the time we had a mortgage together and I was struggling to live on my own in a house that was in desperate need of repair and in negative equity. Because of this I stopped paying the loan, being young and stupid I thought it would all go away but the obvious happened and I have now received a CCJ letter. I really want to be responsible and pay this back and I can afford £100 per month to do this (the loan balance is just over £6k). What I would like to know is what is the likelihood of this amount being accepted so I can move on and will I be left alone once I start paying - I now live with my parents and I'm really scared that baliffs will turn up demanding more money.
