Hello there
I found out yesterday that I have a CCJ on my name just by "accident".
I subscribed to a CRA just to check my credit score and I saw that It was issued in 2009 and I didn't know anything about it.
After few phone calls I realised that it was done because I didn't pay the second instalment of my university course
( I only attended a semester and then quit without notifying them)
I never received anything because I changed address few times back then.
I read on the internet that a CCJ "expires" after 6 years whether it's paid or not.
Is that true?
I would like to find out if a non paid CCJ shows on the history as it is very important for me.
I would like eventually to get a mortgage and credit,
I am self employed and I have no problem in managing my money.
I incurred in that silly mistake without knowing how the system worked in the UK.
According to this,
in my case,
it has non sense to pay that as It will show for another 6 years in my record
and It will make it difficult to buy a property even if it is satisfied.
If I don't pay it and clears off from my credit history,
will it be easier for me to improve the credit score?
I hope you can help me in clarifying this
thank you
Matteo
