And don’t forget, if you do find yourself on the wrong side of a County Court Judgment, make sure you pay the amount owed within one month as that way it can be completely removed from the register. If you pay after one month, you can only have the debt marked as ‘satisfied’ even if you pay in full – in this instance, the CCJ itself will remain on your record for all to see.
