CCJ
 

County Court Judgement (CCJ) this is were someone applies for and receives a judgement against another individual for debt in the county court as a result of an individual not paying monies owed to them. If a CCJ is settled in full within 30 days of the date it was recorded then it will not stay on the credit register. In the event of a payment after that date the CCJ is granted it will appear in the register but will be shown as being satisfied.

If a CCJ has not been settled and is outstanding then it is likely to lead to a lender refusing a mortgage application. In fact applications are still likely to be declined if satisfied CCJ's appear. A small number of lenders will offer loans when a CCJ has been satisfied if the amounts involved are not to large.
