Evening
I have a CCJ on my file from a couple of years ago, but last year I was informed by the solicitors pursuing the debt that the outstanding debt (£2.5k) was no longer being pursued (I was only able to repay a very small amount each month). The letter states clearly that I can, for a fee, use the letter to remove the CCJ, but doesn't elaborate. Can someone please guide on how I would proceed with taking it off my file.
Thank you

Hi,

This is from trust online.
These are the only circumstances in which a CCJ can be removed from the register :

Paying the CCJ in full within a month If you do this, details of the county court judgment are removed altogether from the register.

Paying the CCJ later You can get a certificate of satisfaction, in which case the CCJ is marked as satisfied on the register (but stays on it). Anyone who checks it will know that you have paid what you owe.

Judgment set aside You can apply for the judgment to be set aside in some cases.

Wait six years The register holds details of CCJs for six years. For them to be removed, you have to wait for this time limit.

Amend details If your details on the register are wrong (e.g. the amount of the CCJ is wrong) contact us once you’ve searched the register. We will check with the court, and we’ll let you know what they say.
