Consent Order

[cass77]

I have a default CCJ against me that is over 3 years old. The debt was satisfied directly with the Claimant 3 years ago (after the CCJ had been entered). I became aware of the CCJ this month when I checked my credit history. The Claimant is willing to sign a consent order to set aside the judgement. I acknowledge that the debt was owed and properly invoiced to a correct correspondence address. However, the claim leading to the CCJ was issued (by solicitors for the Claimant) to an incorrect addresss, different to the invoice address used by the Claimant. The Claimant says that when I paid the debt directly with them, they notified me of the CCJ. I have no recollection of that, but do not want to get into a dispute with the Claimant. The Claimant is very sympathetic and wish to do anything in their power to have the judgement set aside. I am drafting the consent order. I would prefer to draft a minimal Consent Order to the effect that the parties have reached a settlement and agreed to apply to set aside the judgement in default. I am conscious though that the Court may have questions about the amount of time that has elapsed since the Judgement and the settlement. How likely is the Court to want to go behind an application to set aside by consent if no detail is provided, particularly where it is clear the debt was settled three years ago? If I seek to include anything that suggests the Claimant was at fault, I risk losing their cooperation, although I believe I could, if required, present a compelling case why the judgement should be set aside. Thank you in advance for any advice.
