Court order and citizenship?

Hi everyone,
I have ILR and will apply for citizenship asap. I have a court order over a financial dispute. I am paying on this regularly but it was stressed to me this is a court order and not a court judgement (CCJ).
With the character reference part of the citizenship - do I list this court order in? I'm told its not a CCJ as the court ordered the parties to go away and work out a plan between us.
Can you more knowledgeable people please let me know if I need to list this in the application? Also, if I do have to list it - is it going to be problematic for me?
Thank you for your advice!

Sorry, just to add that this is not listed on my credit report either, so its not showing as a CCJ.

CCJ only occurs when you ignore the court order and the other party informs the court and pushes for a CCJ. It is a civil matter and you will be okay. No need to declare as its not a CCJ.
