As I have never had a CCJ I have now asked Equifax for the details of why they believe I ever had one.

Thanks for all the help, and sorry to confuse you all as I originally thought the CCJ was there because of the IVA.

Both Experian and Callcredit show no CCJ's against me, it's just Equifax.

You should be able to put a note of correction on your file with Equifax - as the whole drop off file in a little while, its a quicker option than writing etc.

Foggy thanks - I didn't realise that. I asked my IP whether I needed to do anything but was told they'd sort it. I'm on the case now though!

You need to check as well to make sure there are no defaults added after the date of IVA acceptance. If there are, then you will have to contact those creditors and send a copy of your completion certificate and tell them to remove those defaults.

Right, they now say that the court record is the IVA I had accepted in 2006 and completed in 2007.

I have tried to say that as the IVA is completed there should not be a current court record.

Don't actually know if this is true!?!?

I know the IVA stays on the CRA's for 6 years but I would have thought I would not be on the current court records.

If I am, and I shouldn't be, how do I get it removed?

An IVA is nothing to do with a CCJ and this should not be on your record.

The IVA will remain on your record until 2012 but your IVA company should have informed the CRA that you had completed.

You can always try sending a copy of your completion letter to the CRA to see if that will do anything, otherwise get in touch with your IP and see if they can help - they should still have your records.

I'll see if I can paste a few things.

CRA report

Court Information and other public records
Judgments are issued as a result of County or High Court action. If a Creditor/Claimant (the person looking to claim the money from you) is owed a sum of money by you they may raise a claim against you in either the County or High Court, for recovery of these monies. If the court agrees that the Creditor/Claimant is owed the money, then a Judgment will be granted by the court against the Individual (Defendant). The monetary value of this Judgment will be for the amount due and any associated costs. In Scotland similar judgments given in the Sheriffs Courts are called Decrees. Equifax receives this information from Registry Trust Ltd. Registry Trust Ltd is a non-profit making company, contracted by the Lord Chancellor, through the Ministry of Justice, to maintain the statutory public Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines covering courts in England and Wales. As well as holding public registers covering money Judgments/Decrees in Scotland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Jersey, Registry Trust Ltd acts as a clearing house for Judgments registered in Eire. Details of all these Judgments/Decrees, and any subsequent amendments, are passed to the credit reference agencies for inclusion in their Reports.

Latest reply from CRA

Court Information - Voluntary Arrangement

The court record you can see on your Credit Report is the record of your IVA.

The Current record you are looking at on the summary just means that there is one court record showing at your Current Address. I can assure you that this is not outstanding. Your IVA shows as completed


The court info says nothing about an IVA and to me reads like I have a CCJ. What do you guys think? ANd if it is the IVA then surely it is not current?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. From your last copy and paste it says your court record shows your IVA, which is a court record.

Even though it has been completed it will remain on there until six years after initial acceptance.

It does not say that you have a CCJ.

Where does it say it's an IVA?

The only mention of IVA is in their reply to my complaint.

Without looking at your full record Squawk I have no idea. I've not checked mine since starting the IVA.

Hopefully someone who has completed will be on to help.

Looking at my own Experian Credit report - there is a "Public Record Information Section" - which will contains details of CCJ/Bankruptcy/IVA -if recorded

Still trying to sort this out.

How do I get a copy of what the court has on my IVA?

Where it says Voluntary Arrangement - that is your IVA (an individual voluntary arrangement). From what you pasted there is no CCJ. The blurb at the top will be generic to every credit report.

Just concerned that it might still show I have a current IVA and not a previous one, so I want to know exactly what the record actually says.

Rather than spent your time and energies on this - when exactly does your 6 years period finish ? - after that, you show find it automatically drops off - Only THEN will you be able to START to build up your credit report. You have got a completion certificate ? - if so your IVA is completed.
