Why some lenders say no
- Most high-street lenders auto-decline on any CCJ inside 3-6 years.
- Unsatisfied CCJs are almost always declined; satisfied ones have more options.
- Total count and value matter — multiple or large CCJs narrow the pool further.

Run My Affordability CheckFrequently asked questions
Does a satisfied CCJ count differently than unsatisfied?
Yes. Satisfied CCJs (paid off) have many more lenders than unsatisfied. Most lenders insist on satisfaction as a starting point, then apply their own age-months rule on top.
Does it matter how much the CCJ was for?
Yes. Some lenders have a £ threshold (e.g. CCJs under £500 disregarded). Others count every CCJ regardless of amount. Larger CCJs usually need a longer 'clean since' period.
Will I pay a higher rate?
Usually. Adverse credit products typically sit 0.5-1.5% above standard rates. The rate premium varies by how recent, how many, and whether satisfied.
Should I use a mortgage broker?
For adverse-credit cases, yes — specialist brokers know which lenders will actually say yes, reducing wasted credit searches on your file.
