CCJ 5 years ago

[angelloveguy]

Hello,

My friend is Applying for his 10 years Long Residency ILR in Feb 2012, he wanted to know that he had CCJ 5 years ago for non payment of Mobile Bill and that CCJ was paid in full last year. Do he need to mention this in ILR FORM.

****************
SET(M) SECTION 7:

Do you or any dependants who are applying with you have any criminal convictions in the UK or any other country (including traffic offences) or any civil judgments made against you?
****************

As it was 5 years ago and it was paid in full, do he need to mention it in the form.

FYI - SET(M) is not the form to be used when applying for settlement under long residence. Use SET(O).

Yes, you do need to declare it.

CCJ will stay on the registry record for 6 years.

Whoever does a credit check will find out about it?

Good thing is that he has paid the whole amount.

There is nothing to be afraid of declaring that you had a debt that led to a CCJ. The stupid thing would be not to declare it and be caught with it.

So yes you have to declare it. It’s not a big deal.

I would also recommend that he should get a "Certificate of Satisfaction/Cancellation of Judgment Debt" from the county court where his case was held and attach it with the SET(O) form.
