CCJ- Taking out a mobile phone contract?

I live at home with my parents and one of them has a CCJ. From what I can gather it isn't a substantial amount of debt and monthly payments are being made to settle this. I *think* the CCJ has been in place for around 4 years now.

I work full time and I am wanting a mobile phone contract, in my own name but obviously the charging order is against the house so will I be able to get a contract out in my name/banking account? :)

    Credit record is against the person not the house, although there may be the loan secured on the equity in the house.


    You should have no problems, but no-one will tell you exactly how they do the scoring so its not possible to tell you with 100% accuracy, as other factors could be in play.

    as gjchester says i belive its against the person as long as you can prove its not in your name

    just remember though having no credit can also go against you
