Judgments in New Jersey remain in effect for 20 years and may be renewed for an additional 20 years by filing a motion in the Superior Court, Law Division, Civil Part and/or in the Special Civil Part if the Special Civil Part case was assigned a DJ or J docket number.
The plaintiff can request a default judgment in their favor if the defendant receives the complaint and fails to respond in the time allowed.
If there is a judgment or lien on your credit report and that judgment has been satisfied, you must contact the credit reporting agency in writing and include copies of the documents that support your position, for example, a copy of the signed warrant to satisfy judgment.
A judgment can be fully satisfied by paying the judgment creditor (the person who has the judgment against you) in full and receiving from the creditor a Warrant of Satisfaction.

It was never a fine. Paying off the CCJ was a mistake. A satisfied CCJ will still have an adverse affect on your ability to obtain credit, and paying it off outside the initial date is of no benefit. The courts require you to submit a set aside application as soon as reasonably possible after it has been discovered.
If your entry is removed from the Register, the credit reference agencies will be told and details of your CCJ will be removed from your record. You might be able to get credit again once the CCJ has been removed.
If you issue a claim online, it is issued immediately and posted out to the defendant in a number of days. If not responded to, you could realistically get a CCJ within a month, as the Defendant has 14 days from service of the claim to respond to it.
On average, you can expect your credit score to increase by around 250 points.
