CCJ Paid Off - Scotland

masonsmum

Hi
Some advice needed please, I have a CCJ issued against me last year over a dispute with my local council over an overpayment of landlord rent when I rented my property out through the council (DSS).

I will be clearing this off today - hooray, however I wanted to know how I show that I have now paid this off on my Credit File.

Do I need to inform the Sheriff Court and will it still show on my Credit File, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm sorry I can't answer this one, but I'll bump it to see if anyone else does?

The information on your Credit Reference File should be taken from the official register of judgements.

From: http://www.registry-trust.org.uk/FAQs/tabid/53/ItemID/24/getscroll/false/Default.aspx#24

How do I get a decree held on the Scottish Register marked as satisfied?

1) Obtain written evidence from the pursuer, or the pursuers agent, confirming:

i. Name of the court
ii. Case number
iii. Date of decree
iv. Amount of decree
v. Date that the debt was repaid in full

2) Forward the original written evidence to: Registry Trust Limited 173 – 175 Cleveland Street London W1T 6QR With confirmation of the defendant’s name and address at the time of the decree and enclosing an administration fee of £8.00 (made payable to the “Registry Trust Limited”) for each named person or business at a specified address or limited company name.

If in doubt, check with the Scottish Court Service.
