CCJ Help!!!

Could anyone please advise, i had a large ccj issued in 2004. I am currently paying the lender a reduced amount each month agreed by the court.
Could the lender suddenly ask for more money, also how long will it stay on my credit file 6 years from issue or 6 years from pay off :confused:

Many thanks

    A CCJ will stay on your credit file 6 years from date of issue. A creditor is able to apply to the court to vary the judgement much the same as you would be able to do BUT this is very uncommon.
