CCJs (x2) discovered after credit check from Parking Eye and Civil Enforcement

But you paid CEL and could have paid nothing and (possibly also) got your court fee back. You'd have got the CCJ set aside anyway with a hearing.
You paid a scam.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

People have to do what is right for them.cyhb said:Hi guys - an update on this. I finally heard back from Parking Eye too. They have also agreed to a consent order.
I get that it is not ideal that I'm giving them any money, but also having spoken to the County Court Business Centre, if I tried to go for setting aside without consent, or anything that would require a hearing, the earliest currently is a minimum estimated 4 months away, and that is after they process the paperwork at CCBC and they hand it to a local court. Then after that, presuming that the Judge did set the CCJ's aside, I would still have to wait for them to inform the Credit agencies. So in all we are looking at a minimum of 6 months before they are cleared. That's no good for my situation unfortunately.
Getting a consent order through now, the paperwork backlog at CCBC is currently 5 weeks. It won't require a hearing and whilst again nothing is 100% guaranteed, the CCBC staff gave the impression that this would be a routine paperwork exercise. After that we are looking at 2 weeks to inform the Credit reference firms, so if I'm lucky, it could be cleared in 2 months. Yes it's cost me £600, but it means I'm not held up for at least 6 months.
I really appreciate your help in this - and again if time was not a constraint I would have gone the whole way!
If it's cheaper to pay this malarky than thousands more on a mortgage it's not really even a choice.0 -
Yeah exactly - it was with gritted teeth...0

Indeed. The OP here has fallen foul of a term we used to use quite a lot here, but haven't for a while ... credit clamping.2

Yup. Definitely will - I'll put a reminder. And yesterday I also got the CCJ set aside for Parking Eye. Thanks again.1
