CCJ Set Aside Success Story: Removing a Northumbrian Water Judgment in Just Over Two Months

At CCJ Removal Services, we regularly help clients remove County Court Judgments that should never have been issued in the first place. This case study highlights how we successfully helped a client set aside a CCJ obtained by Northumbrian Water Limited for a property he had never lived at or been associated with.

This is a powerful example of how acting quickly and providing the right evidence can result in fast CCJ removal.

Background: Client Pursued for Water Charges at an Unknown Property

On 06 October 2025, our client instructed us under our Consent Order Only service, paying our fixed fee of £399.00.

Northumbrian Water Limited had obtained a County Court Judgment against him for alleged unpaid water usage at a property with which he had no connection whatsoever.

This situation caused understandable alarm. The client was concerned about:

The impact of the CCJ on his credit file
The unfairness of being pursued for a property he had never occupied
The risk of enforcement action
Long-term financial consequences

He contacted CCJ Removal Services to resolve the matter quickly and professionally.

Immediate Case Review and Evidence Collection

The matter was assigned to our case handler on 09 October 2025, and we immediately began reviewing the case.

We worked closely with the client to obtain comprehensive supporting evidence, including:

Proof of verified residency at a completely different address
Documentation confirming continuous occupancy elsewhere
Evidence covering both the period of alleged water usage
Evidence covering the time when Court paperwork had supposedly been served

This evidence clearly demonstrated that the client had no association with the address in question.

The claim had been incorrectly issued and served at the wrong address.

Presenting the Consent Order to Northumbrian Water

By 10 October 2025, just one day after assignment, we formally presented the matter to Northumbrian Water Limited by way of a Consent Order.

Our submission included:

A drafted Consent Order requesting the CCJ be set aside
Comprehensive supporting documentation
Clear evidence showing the client had never lived at the property

The strength of the evidence made the position clear and compelling.

Signed Consent Order Received Quickly

Due to the clarity of the evidence provided and the professional presentation of the application, the claimant responded promptly.

On 14 October 2025, we received the signed Consent Order from Northumbrian Water Limited.

This confirmed their agreement to set aside the judgment.

This rapid response significantly accelerated the removal process.

Application Preparation and Filing with the Court

As the client had selected our Consent Order Only service, we initially provided:

The completed application bundle
Full instructions and guidance on filing
Ongoing support options

The client then elected to proceed with our additional filing support service for an administrative fee of £200.00, allowing us to manage the process entirely on his behalf.

We promptly filed the application with the Court on 16 October 2025.

Court Reviews the Application

On 06 November 2025, we were notified that the application had been referred to a Judge for review.

Our professionally prepared application bundle ensured that the Court had everything required to make a decision.

Court Orders the Judgment Set Aside

On 16 December 2025, the Court officially ordered that the judgment be set aside.

This meant:

The CCJ was removed from the client’s record
The judgment was no longer enforceable
The client’s credit profile could be restored
The client was no longer linked to the incorrect property claim

Justice was restored, and the client could move forward without the burden of an unfair CCJ.
