CCJ and mortgage application

1 Post
Newbie
Hi, I recently received a letter from a debt collector. It turns out that the garage that my car was being serviced at in 2019 parked my car in the adjacent public car park which resulted in a fine, but as my car was registered at my old address I never received the letter. Fast forward a few years, the debt is up to about £300 and has gone through the court. I've paid the money but am worried that it will effect my credit score and mortgage application later this year. Once a debt has been paid, does a CCJ go from your file? Can anyone advise? Thank you

Use a decent broker so your application is placed correctly.
Always remember that if you move house, you must update the powers that be e.g. DVLA for driving licence etc as that is where points letters would go to
Please go to the parking tickets sub forum of the motoring forum and ask for advice there about dealing with it.
You don't have a credit score so don't worry about that, lenders never see the gimmick number
