CCJ Interest

Freeatlast

If a CCJ is granted on an old credit card debt, is it usual that the creditor will be awarded interest on top of the amount? if so for how long can the interest accumulate?

Interest up to the date of judgement is allowed

Interest after judgement is very unusual as the creditor would have to jump through a lot of hoops

So if the debt is currently in default hence not accruing interest, if they go for a CCJ they can add on the Interest since default?

That is highly unlikely; National Debtline on 0808 808 4000 can talk you through the details

If its defaulted, all interest and charges usually stop at that point.

They may add their legal fees to the debt, it would be unusual to add further interest after default, but not impossible I guess.
