CCJ After Bankruptcy

Hello

Just wondering, went BR over 2 years ago and prior to going BR i had a CCJ.

What happens to the CCJ, does it still stay on my credit file for 6 years or do i need to contact the courts in Northampton to have it removed as the debt was covered in the BR.

    The CCJ will stay on but it will fall off before the bankruptcy anyway. It was an accurate account of your affairs at that time.

    Hi Robo


    As owlet says, the CCJ will remain on your file for six years from when it was granted, albeit the debt is no longer owed. In practice, the bankruptcy carries far more weight on your credit report than any information preceding it, including CCJs.

    Also court rules mean it can't even be marked as settled, as under their rule which means paid in full, it wasn't.

    As also said though, as far as your report goes it is of no concern compared to the worse bankruptcy order.
