Discontinued Claim Before Set Aside Hearing

[novice95]

Hi all, hoping someone can help with what I do next.

I submitted anN244 application to have a CCJ set aside, I had strong grounds (abuse, no notice of proceedings, etc.) and submitted a full witness statement, draft defence, and draft order. A hearing was listed for 23rd May.

I called the CNBC yesterday to see if the claimant had responded at all to prep for my hearing, but was told they had discontinued the claim and the hearing is cancelled. He told me to file an N443, but when I went to do that, the only options were to tick Satisfied or Cancelled, neither of which apply to me - I want the CCJ completely removed

I then spoke to my local court (had to go in because calling them just routes to the CNBC) and she advised the hearing has definitely been cancelled and she will have to ask the district judge whether it can be removed or not.

Does the claimant discontinuing the claim mean they don't wish to contest and are happy for the CCJ to be dropped? I just want it off my record but don't have the hearing for it to be set aside anymore.

Any help appreciated in advance.

Please read "CCJ Removal: 3 Ways to Remove a CCJ from Your Credit Report" at www.masonbullock.co.uk

You should follow through with your application to set aside the CCJ and wait for the court order setting it aside
The court should update the Registry Trust and the public register reflect the change within 24 hours
Credit agencies will then update your credit report by removing the CCJ, usually within one week

N443 is definitely not the correct form

N441 seems more appropriate "Notification of Request for Certificate of Satisfaction or Cancellation"

You should tick the box "removed", serve and file the form

If the claimant fails to object in writing within one month, the court will automatically grant the certificate and the register amended accordingly
