CCJ - unsure what it is for

Hello all. This is my first post here so please be gentle :)

I have a CCJ against me at a previous address but I'm unsure what it is for. It dates from 2006 at an address I had moved out of 5 months previously. When I moved I provided my new address to everyone and to my knowledge and memory I was paying all my bills. I do not remember anyone chasing me for debt, any reminders being sent etc. My ex partner was still living at that address on the date it has was served on, and he never mentioned to me receiving any letters to that address.

I want to pay this CCJ as I know it's not going to go away, but I don't know where to start as I don't know who it's from. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If from 2006 it will not appear on your credit report or on the registry trust, and anyone who now owns the debt may not be able to enforce it without leave of the court which is unlikely in most circumstances.

    Only the issuing court can tell you who the CCJ was for.

    I'd stop worrying about it now, its not going to affect you credit wise.
