This is a civil judgement so you'll have to declare it, but supply proof that it has been paid and it shouldn't be an issue.

Like D4109125 rightly said, you will need to declare it as civil judgement (not as criminal conviction because CCJ is no criminal record). Good that you have paid it, HO wants to see that you are committed to paying it or you have paid it. So, you are in a very strong position.

See a similar success story in the link below. He was absolutely fine with his ILR. So, relax your ILR is in order.
