CCJ - Statute Barred

Hi Mar198, a CCJ CAN become Statute Barred after 6 years have elapsed from the date it was granted, but you would be foolish to rely on this because if your creditors have gone to the trouble of obtaining CCJs against you, then they clearly intend to pursue you for the debts - and the cost to you will only go up with any enforcement action they take against you. You don't say when the CCJs were granted, what type of debts they are (some debts have different rules) or if you've ever admitted the debts, but I suggest you contact your nearest Citizens Advice office or National Debtline for free advice on how to manage this situation before making any contact with your creditors - just don't ignore it any longer.

That’s incorrect.

A county court judgement NEVER becomes statute barred.

If a judgement has not been enforced within 6 years, court permission must be sought to do so, but that has nothing to do with the limitations act.

Once a CCJ has been granted, the court has decided you are liable for the debt.

What would your defence to the CCJ be? There's no point asking for it to be set aside when at the time of judgement it wouldn't have been statute barred.
