Debt valid after CCJ Drops off?

Jennifer34

What happens to my debt once the CCJ'S have expired.

They're about to drop off and are being handled by Mortimer Clarke and have been paying £3 a month.

What can they do if I just stop paying it now? 
As it's not on my credit file anymore can any possible future lenders see the debt?
If not is there any point in paying the debt still?

Hi,

Whilst the CCJ is automatically removed from your credit files after six years, it does not expire.  If you were to stop paying your agreed monthly instalments, then your creditor could seek enforcement action, although they would have to seek permission from the court first.

(Q) What can they do if I just stop paying it now ? 
(A) Further enforcement action can include attendance at your home by bailiffs. attachment to your earnings if you work, or an order to appear before the judge to explain why you are not paying. Each stage costs the creditor money, and after 6 years, they would need court permission to further enforce the judgement.

(A) No, once its gone its gone forever.

(Q) If not is there any point in paying the debt still ?
(A) See above.
