CCJ After 6 years

Hi, I have 3 CCJs on my credit file. Last one was 2021.  I am aware that they will fall off my credit file in 6 years.  After that can the debt still be enforced? If I say win the lottery ( can only dream!) After the 6 years,  Will the creditor be able to make a claim on any money or assets i have? 


Thanks in advance

    Ccjs can only be enforced after six years by specific order of the court

    If you get rich after the six years, how would they know?

    They would need the courts permission after 6 years which the courts generally dont grant unless there was a very good reason why they couldn't enforce the debt before the 6 years were up.
