Will A Satisfied CCJ Affect My Credit?

A CCJ is a county court judgement that has been added to your credit profile in the event of you defaulting on a debt and your creditor successfully claiming against you in court. This can include missed payments from your mobile phone contract or failing on a loan agreement through to not paying your car finance or payments. If you get to the point where a CCJ is issued this will have an adverse credit rating on your credit worthiness. That said satisfying the CCJ may help improve your credit rating, although the CCJ will still be shown on your credit history.

To satisfy a CCJ you will need to pay the creditor the amount outstanding and any added fees. If you do have a CCJ you are less likely to be offered a mortgage, particularly from the high street banks and building societies. This will restrict your choice of lender to those who specialise in dealing with people with bad credit histories. You may still be able to get a mortgage, but the rate is likely to be higher, so you will pay more each month. If you have satisfied the judgement this will open up more lender options to you and possibly give you access to better plans or rates.

Sub prime mortgages may have a more expensive processing fee compared to other loans. Aside from this, they may have higher late fees and payment fines. Prepayment fines.
