    But you didn't pay £20 a month did you?


    Erm, yes I did. Then the fee was listed on a DRO. No default. Get it?

    Are you actually serious?


    Do you think when you get a DRO a magic fairy comes and pays your debts?


    They're written off, that does not mean paid.

    What? The agreement was to pay £20 per month until the sum of £355 was paid - this was sanctioned by the Judge and Claimant. There was no Order to pay the sum of £355 within 28 days!
    I assume that since you were unable to pay the £355 within the 28 day period. it resulted in a CCJ to repay £20 per month until you clear the debt. You just didn't realise it at the time.

    There's always one on this board who prefers to argue than answer the question.

    Thank you. Someone with some actual useful advice at last. It's like Mumsnet on here at times!.
    I had assumed that because all parties agreed to the installment judgment that this would avoid a CCJ.

    ?? Im not arguing.


    I'm telling you, you didn't pay £355 to your landlord. It's as simple as that.


    Now you're complaining about the CCJ.

    You were an argumentative type with your reference to fairies etc. That stuff is not okay with these boards. People looking for genuine financial advice could do without the sarcy remarks.

    Feel free to report it.


    You wont give a straight answer to the question.


    So one last time: Did you pay the landlord £355?

    So to rephrase my question in light of some of the answers:

    Will a CCJ still appear on my history if there was no default on an Instalment Judgement Order?

    There was no default on the Instalment Order. As I said it was listed on a DRO. I could not pay it at that point even if I wanted to as it was listed on a DRO. Your question makes no sense - you will now tell me that I deserved a CCJ because I had not paid it off, right?
