sourcrates said:If within the 6-year limit, a CCJ is on the verge of expiration without the debt recovered, there is a provision to appeal to the court for an extension. Although, to do this the creditor will have to prove clear and plausible reasons why the debt was not recovered within the 6-year period.
The evidence must be convincing to the court to get an extension.
In your case, the 6 years have elapsed, there is nothing to set aside, you can`t set aside something that no longer exists, the judgement was 10 years ago, no record will exist of it now, it won`t show on your credit file, or the register of judgements, any set aside application has to be made "within a reasonable timescale" that means weeks/months, not 10 years.
Unless you were living on the Moon, you would have been traceable, so the creditor has no excuse as to why this was not enforced earlier.
They won`t take this back before a judge, it would be dismissed in an instant, judgements don`t become statute barred, but after 6 years of no enforcement action, they are deemed to be unenforceable, any extension must be applied for within the 6 year initial timescale.
Essentially you only have their word a CCJ was ever obtained, it may all be a bluff to encourage you to pay up.
They can threaten all they want, unless they actually go back before a court and gain its permission to enforce, you have nothing more to talk about.
I`d put all that in writing to them and leave it at that.0 -
In response to my "prove it" letter we've gone back to you haven't contacted us! My response refer to the 4 responses that you've sent to my previous letters dated blah, blah, blah. So, now sent them the one about "after 6 years CCJ deemed unenforceable unless you take it back to court ...". Let's see what their next letter brings.0

@ATownson1 keep me posted because this is exactly the same with me. Except they sent a letter saying ccj may 2000, last payment 2009 therefore balance due and get in contact in 30 days. I’ve not responded because the debt so far is unforceable0

They will play dumb just so that you will be forced to write again as you will become frustrated with the lack of response.

What’s the point writing to ccbc? They don’t keep records of some claims if no action for 3 years etc so how they going to have the info from longer than that. I spoke to my local who they alleged issued the ccj and theye had no record whatsoever. I’m shocked the fca aren’t looking into this?
