My daughter has been informed that she has a CCJ against her for non-payment of �50. The company that informed her will not tell her any more than this. She is adamant that she doesn't owe the money and was unaware of the judgement. How can she get this removed? And why won't the company tell her any more? Surely there must be a point of reference for her to start from? I've told her to go the CAB but it seems odd that she isn't being told any more. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

CCJ's are granted by a court, can she contact the court and find out who applied for the judgement?

What to do if you disagree with a CCJ
If you have a genuine reason to disagree with a CCJ you can ask the court not to apply it straight away ('set it aside'). You may have to pay a fee for this. If you don't have a genuine reason, your application could be treated as wasting court time or even perjury - serious offences that can incur fines and prison sentences.

If the judgment is set aside, things go back to the start of the claim. You have another chance to reply to the Claim Form, and explain your situation. The CCJ is taken off the County Court Register until a new judgment is made.

Your daughter needs to get a copy of her credit file from http://www.experian.co.uk and http://www.equifax.co.uk

This will show if she has CCJs on her credit file - it will also give the court names and the case numbers.

The credit files cost �2 (they both offer other services which cost more but the �2 service is all you need)

Or she can go here

www.registry-trust.org.uk

where there is what should be a complete record of all CCJs. It may be more up to date than the CRA files.
