County Court Judgement Web Service Overview
County Courts in England & Wales are able to enforce a judgement on debtors who have defaulted on their debts. After a CCJ has been registered the debtor has 28 days to pay the debt, if the debt is paid within 28 days the debtor can apply for the CCJ record to be removed. If the debtor pays the debt after 28 days, the record of the CCJ will remain but will be marked as Satisfied.
Recorded on the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines for six years, CCJ records are invaluable for a variety of business processes such as:
- Credit vetting
- Employee background checks
- Debtor Tracing
- Due diligence
- Insolvency research
The CCJ Web Service provides the full CCJ details for each match found.
The CCJ REST based web service is accessible securely via HTTPS, utilising OAuth for authentication.
The service utilises the standard HTTP GET and POST methods; your system makes a search request containing a set of parameters sent as standard key/value pairs, our service then searches all current CCJ records to locate possible matches based on the values provided. Details of any matched CCJ records are then returned as a JSON encoded object.
Through the service you are able to retrieve the details of any CCJ record which is currently registered, directly from our web servers. You will also enjoy:
- Sub-second responses
- A range of data searching options
- Data fed directly into your own systems
