County Court Judgements and British Citizenship

I don't know if anyone can help me?
My wife is due to apply for her Citizenship, she is an EU National and has had indefinite leave to remain for the past two years.

We have not had the best of luck financially in the past few years and have a few CCJ's against us, which we are paying at present and a few Court Judgements from the local authority for Council Tax (again, being paid).

does anyone know, if these are all declared, if this could jeopardise her application for her British Citizenship?

I am asking as the fees to be paid are obviously high and a lot to lose if it is declined

Many thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give

Thanks a lot

David

Best way would be to apply once you have paid all the money due. Dont forget to ask your debtors to issue you a letter that the account has been settled. Also ask them to inform credit reference agencies. After about a month of settling the debt, obtain your credit file and check whether the credit accounts are mentioned as "settled" or "satisfied".

There will no opportunity to pay these in full before applying, does anyone know this is really adverse if all are declared and payments are being made in agreement with the courts?
