CCJ paid within one month - any further action required?

PurpleHedgehog

Hi all, I'm really hoping someone on here can help coz I've been trying to research online and not getting a complete answer and I'm just getting more and more stressed by the whole situation.

Basically, due to my own stupidity, I missed a water bill that should of been paid and they took the case to court, I didn't submit any response and was issued a 'Judgement For Claimant' letter - I believe this is essentially a CCJ? This letter is dated the 14/08. I paid the outstanding balance two days ago, within the one month timescale, but I do not know if I need to do any more in order to have this removed from my record completely. I currently have a mortgage and I am seriously panicking about how this may affect this and my credit score, and the possible impact to the other person who is named on my mortgage.

Please please please - can someone put my mind at rest that this is all done and dusted, or what else I need to do in order to get this resolved with the minimum impact!!!!!!!:eek:

Hi

This link explains

If you pay your county court judgment in full within one month of the judgment date, it will be removed from the register.

You may have to tell the court this yourself – the person you owed money to may not have done so.

Also a step by step guide on that link.
