I think you mean non-custodial sentence.

Just ask what is relevant to you, and I will try to reply.

hello Mr Lookforward.first, thank you.pls if you could give me some idea about i t I really appreciate.The non custodial offence i was talking about was written in the New AN Guidelines for filling an application for British Citezenship.My situation is I got my Indefinite leave to remain in the UK.i paid my taxes and NI.My only concern is i can apply for a british citizenship but in the good character there is a question Do you have a civil proceedings againts you?i knew it my legal obligation to declare it in my application form.I got a CCJ amount of £345 i paid it already and got a certification of satisfaction from the court.I did not ask to go to the court me and the creditor sorted it already.I would rather say i got this ccj thru miscommunication with the creditor but i was happened already so I can not do anything about it just to deal with it.thats why I'm asking is CCJ consider as non custodial offense.hoping you can advise me about it.

Sorry, both can't be correct. You say you got certificate of satisfaction from court, and then you say you did not go to court and sorted it with your creditor. 
So, which one is it?

hello mr lookforward sorry if I confused u.what I mean to say I got a ccj I received a claim form from the court and I return it back but the court did not ask my presence to go or show in the court to settle the debt.me and the creditos sort it out by ourselves until I paid it.it was too late already to pay in full bec I received a wrong info from the creditor that they will not request a ccj againts me then I was caught by surprise I received a claim.now the debt was settle in full that why I requested a certificate of satisfaction.why question is does ccj will consider as a custodial offense in my case.hope you can share your idea about it.much appreciated.thank u.

Physically going to court or not does not matter. Majority of cases in UK courts are just dealt with on paper. According to law, you did go to court, by sending papers to court.

Now, why would a ccj be regarded as a custodial offence? A custodial offence is simply what it says, an offence with time in custody.

A ccj is basically not even an offence. Its a civil judgement against you. You must declare it as such on the form. If you have satisfied it, then it shouldn't have a negative effect on your naturalisation application. But if you are a serial defaulter who often keeps defaulting on your loans etc, then it could create problems.

Mr lookforward sorry i forgot to ask do you think i can apply naturalization thru ncs or do i need a representative immigration solicitor in my case instead of myself applying it I will ask immigration solicitor to apply me what i mean is a representation.thank u.

Its entirely your choice. In my opinion, you only pay a solicitor for naturalisation if you have money to burn. It is the easiest UKBA application.
