CCJ set aside - British Citizenship application

Hi All,
(will be applying FORM AN on Sept 13th 2013. Tier-1(5 years)+ ILR 1 year)

A CC company filed a ccj by mistake against my name and they themselves applied to the court in the year May 2008 to set aside(cancel) the default judgement and got them removed. Since they removed the CCJ, my Credit Report(equifax) and Trustonline registry are clean and there's no entry of CCJ showing in both the reports for past 5 years. Since then I applied for my Tier1 extension and ILR applications and got them approved without any issue . (without any mention of this situation, as a matter of fact I just thought the CCJ was cancelled and not my fault).
Should I mention this in my British Citizenship application Form AN as it was cancelled by the claimant's consent, long time back?

As the guidance states:
You must give details of all civil judgments which have resulted in a court order being made against you as well as any civil penalties under the UK Immigration Acts.

Not sure what "being made" is ??!! doesn it mean that I should just mention if I have any existing CCJ or on going CCJ or should I explain this situation to the Citizenship application Caseworker ?

Any help in this is appreciated.

Thanks.

You've not had a CCJ if it was set aside.

Many Thanks. Yes it was set aside by the court as per claimant's request, as they(CC company) realized it was not my fault.

Now, sorry if I' am being a pain..

Could you please kindly let me know: should I explain this or there's no need, as there is no CCJ in my name at the first place ?

Thanks.

I' am having doubts filling below section on form MN1 for my 3 year old son. (not sure if he will even qualify)

1.1 Please indicate the section of the British Nationality Act 1981 under which you would like the application considered. See Chapter 2 of the guide for details

Details:

Son born in India - 10th Sep 2010 (at that time I was on Tier-1 General and my wife was on Tier-1 general dependent visas)

Son came to UK as a 6 months baby as a Tier-1 general dependent on 19th March 2011.

Myself and son got ILR approved on 13-Sep-2012.

My wife is on her ILR (as she wont qualify for form AN until Mar 2014)

This Sep 20th myself and my son are applying for UK citizenship.

1. Could you please let us know if he will qualify ?
2. If yes, what section I need to mention ?
3. If no, when he will be eligible ?

Appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks.
