CCJ and mobile phone contract

[glenthorpe]

My brother's 23 year old son is unemployed and he has told his parents that he now has an outstanding CCJ against him at their and his address for the non payment of a mobile phone contract.My brother's fix term mortgage comes up for renewal in the first quarter of next year.Is this CCJ against their son going to affect adversely their {the parents}application for a new mortgage?
Thanks for any advice.

It shouldn't do unless the son has the same name as his father, in which case this can cause trouble.

If he does, the parents can apply to have a "notice of disassociation" put on the account to show that it is the son's and not the father's ccj.

Other than that it shouldn't affect the parents.

I used to work for Equifax and put a few on these on files.

Thanks very much,hopefully this will put their minds at rest,at least about the mortgage situation!
