DCBL Private parking (eurocarparks)

I’m pretty sure the claim was added to my credit file on the 24th of March. I’m not in the 30 day window right?

And even if I pay up now it won’t fully remove the CCJ will it? 

Or could I argue that I haven’t received response from DCBlegal or CNBC in time so I didn’t have an opportunity to pay?

I would be leaning towards paying up as this looks like a cheaper route definitely. 

I can also attach Sanction order document and the DQ document as they were in the email.

No. If judgment was entered on 24 March 2026, the one-calendar-month window has now gone. Paying now would not fully remove the CCJ. At this stage, payment would ordinarily only allow it to be marked as "satisfied", whereas a set-aside is what removes it completely from the register and from credit files.

I would not try to argue that the lack of a timely response from DCB Legal or CNBC somehow preserved your right to pay late and still have it treated as if it were paid within the one-month cancellation window. That is not how the system works. The one-month rule runs from the date of judgment, not from when they choose to reply to you.

So you are now choosing between two different outcomes.

If you pay now, the CCJ would remain on the register and credit file but be marked "satisfied". That may still be worthwhile if your priority is the cheapest and quickest way to stop matters getting any worse. If you apply for a set aside and succeed, the judgment should be set aside and completely removed.

Given the new CNBC explanation, the N244 is still the route if your aim is full removal, but the fee-recovery point is less certain than before. The application fee is now a real part of the decision. On the other hand, paying now no longer gives you full removal anyway, so it is not the clean solution it would have been within the first month.

Attach the DQ and sanctions order because they are now central to the application chronology. They show the procedural steps CNBC say occurred before judgment was entered, and they need to be exhibited so the application can address that sequence directly.

Hi, 

I was also wondering how long does the process with N244 normally take?

And also when does the CCJ have to be paid by if I decide to pay it off?

@merweetntr, if you pay it now, that does not make the CCJ go away. It would normally just be marked as "satisfied", which is better than leaving it unpaid, but not by much in real-world terms. It would still remain on your credit record for 6 years from the date of judgment and lenders, landlords and others can still see it. So a "satisfied" CCJ is still capable of causing financial pain for years. The real difference is that “satisfied” shows it was later paid, whereas “unsatisfied” shows it was not. Neither is the same as having it completely removed.

That is why paying it now is not some magic clean fix. It may be the quicker and cheaper way to stop matters getting any worse, but it still leaves you living with a CCJ on your record. If your aim is to get rid of it properly, the route is the N244 and a set aside.

As for timing, there is no fast guaranteed timetable for an N244. It usually has to be processed by the court and then listed for a hearing, so it can take a while. But if you decide to pay instead, the 30 day window for cancelling it completely has already gone. At this stage, payment would usually only result in a "satisfied" CCJ, not removal.

So the practical choice is this: pay now and accept a "satisfied" CCJ staying on file for 6 years, or apply to set it aside and try to get it expunged altogether.
