CCJ credit file removal advice

Hi

I have a CCJ which was logged on my credit file 11/11/2008, satisfied in 2011 which I presume will be eligible for removal today after 6 years on my file.

Can anyone advise what I need to do please? Will it automatically be removed or do I have to contact all the credit reference agencies to do this?

Thanks for your help.

    It will be automatically removed from your file 6years after the judgement date. Experian and callcredit will be straight away

    With equifax it can sometimes take them a week or 2 more (it shouldn't but it seems to) so if you are looking to apply for credit soon then ideally I would hold off a couple more weeks.

    I have the same situation although mine is a week later. I've not applied for any credit for a couple of years now as I am waiting for this to drop off... I think I will still be a bit nervous to apply when I do need something even once the CCJ drops off.
