Judgment registrations are only removed if they are entered in error, paid before the court action or paid within one calendar month from the date of judgment.

If the judgment was either in error or was paid before the court action, application must be made to the General Registry to have the judgment set aside, for which a court fee of £20 is payable. A sworn affidavit is also required which can be prepared at the court for a fee of £3 or by a solicitor who will charge a fee which may be higher. When the General Registry notifies Registry Trust that a judgment has been paid within one calendar month, it will remain in the Isle of Man Courts of Justice Judgment Book but will be removed from the RTL Register and from the files of the credit reference agencies. Registry Trust has adopted this policy in order to provide parity for consumers.
