How long does it take to get a new CCJ registered with the Registry Trust?
I won a claim in the County Court back in May, and, out of curiosity, I have just done a search at the Registry Trust in their register of CCJs in England & Wales. I didn't find the judgement at the defendant's address. While I appreciate that they might have a backlog of work, I'd have thought that they'd have it in there by now. Is this odd, or is it normal?
Thanks,
Sounds a bit odd to me, my understanding was that the data was passed electronically from the courts when judgement was entered. I am assuming that the judgement is still outstanding and wasn't paid within a month in which case it can be removed from the RT registers without a trace being left for 10 IIRC.
If it is still outstanding after this length of time I would personally be considering the judgement amount and the likelyhood of ever recieving payment and whether to issue the relevent paperwork to pass the case to county court bailiffs or high court sheriffs officers (as appropriate depending on the value).
