CCJ costs

Hi there
Hubby and I have been years climbing out of a debt disaster after he was made redundant out of the blue and struggled for years to get a new job. He has now been working again for a few years and we're looking to get a mortgage so checked our credit file and found he had a CCJ- definitely a debt we owed and in all honestly when it was applied for we probably had our heads in the sand and didn't open the letter (slapped wrist). However on requesting a copy of the details from the court I'm confused as it shows total amount owed, court costs of 410 and solicitors cost of 100. Then in the next column it says total claimed plus costs of 540 and then total of Ccj. I don't understand how it's 540 not 510. Is that wrong and if it is (and I know this is a cheeky long shot) but could it be set aside on that basis? (We have paid the total including the 540 costs). Any help appreciated!!!

Without seeing the actual judgment I don't think I can really comment on the amounts. However, even if there was an error it wouldn't be grounds to set the judgment aside - it would more than likely just be amended under the 'slip rule'.0
