CCJ conundrum advice and perspective needed urgently

HI All

I'm trying to rent a property. I have been very attentive to my credit rating of late since I found out i have to leave my current home.
In 2009 I was apparently awarded a CCJ via Lewis group and my County court business center for personal debts.
Having signed on to Experian this year I have found no mention of it. I STILL make monthly payments towards this CCJ. However nobody aside from Robinson Way and the County Court acknowledge it. I Paid for a search on Trust Online... No sign of the CCJ. I also looked on Clearscore and Equifax. NOBODY has any evidence of this CCJ. I am being asked left right and center if I have a current CCJ, i'm still paying it, but it doesn't appear anywhere on a credit report. Is this because it has fallen off my credit history? Should I put my hand up and admit that I have one?

    You don't have to tell anyone you have a CCJ anymore.

    You still owe the money.

    If you stop paying, they can still enforce it.

    It's not affecting your credit score anymore.
  • SO if I just don't mention it there's no way they will find it skulking in a corner under a rock somewhere?
    The county court still have it on file.

    If your paying it they will query what the payment is, they also will ask if you've ever had CCJs
