Illustrative scenario 04Evidence focus: Establish the facts of the judgment

Illustrative scenario 05Decision point: Evidence of payment or satisfaction

The wider assessment
Establish the facts of the judgment
The registration date, amount and satisfaction status matter. If you believe a judgment is incorrect, obtain appropriate legal guidance. Mortgage planning can then be based on accurate information rather than assumptions about what a lender will overlook.
A CCJ can restrict options and increase costs. Legal steps to challenge or remove an entry are separate from mortgage advice.
