N244 Court Application Service
Professional N244 Court Application Service
If you need to apply to the court to set aside a County Court Judgment (CCJ), preparing your N244 Application correctly is one of the most important steps in the process. An application that lacks the correct legal grounds, supporting evidence or witness statement may be delayed or refused, potentially costing you more time and money.
At CCJ Removal Services, we specialise in preparing professionally drafted N244 Applications for clients who have valid grounds to ask the court to set aside a judgment. Every case begins with a free assessment, allowing us to understand your circumstances and recommend the most appropriate course of action before you pay any court fees.
If you’re still unsure whether an N244 Application is the correct route, our Step-by-Step Guide to Removing a CCJ explains the different legal options available and when each should be used.
f an N244 Application isn’t the right option, we’ll explain why and advise whether an alternative solution, such as a Consent Order, may be more suitable.

Is An N244 Application The Right Option?
An N244 Application is generally appropriate where you believe the County Court Judgment should never have been entered against you.
This may include situations where:
- You have a genuine legal defence.
- The amount claimed is incorrect.
- You were never given a fair opportunity to defend the claim.
- The claimant made a significant procedural error.
- There are exceptional circumstances that justify asking the court to set the judgment aside.
However, not every CCJ requires an N244 Application.
If you accept the debt but the court papers were sent to an old address, a Consent Order may be quicker, less expensive and avoid the need for a court hearing.

N244 Application or Consent Order?
Many people assume an N244 Application is the only way to remove a CCJ, but that isn’t always the case.
| N244 Application | Consent Order |
|---|---|
| Usually requires a court hearing | Usually no hearing required |
| Court fee currently £313 | Court fee currently £123 |
| Used where the debt is disputed or a legal defence exists | Used where the debt isn’t disputed but the judgment was entered unfairly |
| Judge decides the outcome | Both parties agree the application before submission |
| Longer court process | Often quicker and more straightforward |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your N244 Court Application Service cost?
Our professional fee is separate from the HMCTS court fee. We’ll explain all costs during your free assessment so you know exactly what to expect before proceeding.
Does your fee include the court fee?
No. The HMCTS court fee for submitting an N244 Application is payable directly to the court. Our fee covers the preparation of your application and supporting documentation.
Will I have to attend court?
In most cases, yes. N244 Applications usually require a hearing where a Judge considers the evidence before deciding whether the judgment should be set aside.
What happens if you don’t recommend an N244 Application?
If we believe another option, such as a Consent Order, is more suitable, we’ll explain why before you incur unnecessary court fees or begin the wrong legal process.
How long does the process take?
Timescales vary depending on the court hearing dates in your local court. We’ll provide realistic expectations and keep you informed throughout the process.
In many situations, a Consent Order may provide a quicker and less expensive solution than an N244 Application. We’ll always explain the most appropriate option before recommending any work.
