More detailed information

County Court Judgement (CCJ)

A county court judgement is a judgement for debt in the county court. If a judgement is settled in full within 30 days of the date of the judgement it will not appear in the credit register. A judgement may be set aside, varied and suspended on application to the court. Judgements are registered publicly with Registry Trust and held for six years. In the event of a payment after that date the judgement will appear in the register but will be shown as being satisfied. However a satisfied judgement will, in most cases, show on your credit history and will treated as adverse credit history. If you have experienced a county court judgement and it has had a negative affect on your credit history you may still be able to obtain a loan via specialist lenders.

Arrears

Arrears are mortgage payments that have not been made by the due date or are not to the correct amount in accordance with the mortgage deed agreed by the policy holder and the lender.

Borrowers with arrears in their credit history may find lenders are less willing to provide them with a loan. Fortunately some high street lenders will consider providing credit impaired borrowers with a loan.
