Removed CCJ - Mortgage Application

Hi everyone,

Some advice please. I am currently going through the process of purchasing my first home, but I am fearful that an old CCJ will affect my mortgage application.

It was over 6 years ago and no longer shows on my report, and my rating is back to "good". What I want to know is will the lender still be able to see that I had a CCJ even though it is no longer on my report, and if they can will it affect my application?

Any info will be great.

Thank you,

    Hi Manno

    Your lender will not be able to see that you had a CCJ now it’s dropped off your credit file. It will also have dropped off the Register or Judgements, Orders and Fines after 6 years.
