Effect of CCJ set aside on 6 years limit

from (lyndhurst_04@yahoo.co.uk)
I have a question on the effect of CCJs on the 6 year period 'Limitation Act 1980' period for unsecured debts.

As I understand it if a debt is over 6 years old (from the last payment, acknowledgement or when it was due for repayment) then a creditor cannot get a judgement on it due to the Limitation Act 1980.

However if the creditor obtains a CCJ then the Limitation Act cannot be used.

My question is what happens to the limit if that CCJ is set aside. If the judgement was in the second year of the the debt, will the debt be 'cancelled' after 4 years if that CCJ is set aside (ie it is as if the CCj didn't exist?)

Any help on this would really be appreciated....
