Hi all
I've recently gotten hold of my credit file from Noddle - pretty useful and completely free online. On record is an CCJ (unsatisfied judgement) for £576 issued October last year for which I have no details, I've no idea who the creditor is and I'm puzzled as to why I've not received anything by post for the judgement.
I decided to get more information on the judgement by using the trustonline site. This proved to be a complete waste of £4 as the details held on their database are identical to the ones printed on my credit file (Name, Court Name, Case No., Date, Amount, Status). I've read more into it and it appears that the only way of getting more infomration about a judgement is to contact the court directly. My fear is that in the very act of doing this it will kick the system into gear and I'll get issued with notices and payment requests and attachment of earnings documents etc. All I'd like to do is find out who the original creditor is. I can't as yet afford to pay this amount so would like to stay under the radar until I can.
Additionally, if I do find myself in the position of being able to afford to settle the amount, will the CCJ be removed from my credit file or will it still hang about for 6 years?
TIA.
