CCJ without due process. What now?

MagnoliaT

I found a CCJ on my credit file on applying for a mortgage. Long story short, I (apparently) hadn't paid enough for car parking in a private car park but as all documentation was sent to an old address, I knew nothing about it until I discovered the CCJ. I panicked and paid £250 to the company who filed the order to satisfy the debt, but my main concern is getting the CCJ removed from my credit file as quickly as possible.
Any advise would be much appreciated.

If you paid it within 30 days, it will be removed.  If not, it will remain there for six years.

It wasn't paid in 30 days as I didn't receive any of the letters as they were sent to an old address. Does this mean that there's no recourse?

How did the correspondence not go to the correct address - did you forget to update your address with DVLA?
I believe there is no normal recourse.

So not without "due process" then.  It's not their responsibility to chase you around the country.

Nothing can be done then. Another case of live and learn.

I know the truth isn’t what you want to hear sometimes. But here we are.

Sometimes there aren't any get out of jail free cards.  C'est la vie.
