    Sorry to jump on your question but I cannot work out how to create my own post.
    so myself and husband are looking to get a mortgage.i have a CCJ which will be 6 years in July.its for £1500.my credit score is fair and I have a credit card.husbands credit score is very good.
    if we apply for a mortgage now (have 20% deposit) will we be accepted by any decent lenders?and if we wait and I don't pay it off how long will it be before mortgage lenders cannot see the CCJ?
    It's 6 years for CCJs to come off reports.
