🏡 WEEKLY CREDIT TIPS – TIP #10
📂 PAID OFF A DEBT? KEEP THE EVIDENCE!
🎉 Congratulations on paying off your personal loan, car loan or credit card!
But did you know that a paid-off debt may still appear on your credit report or be considered during a home loan assessment?
Without proper documentation, this could delay your application.
🔑 4 IMPORTANT STEPS:
✅ 1. Keep Proof of Payment
Request a payout confirmation or account closure letter from your lender.
✅ 2. Check Your Credit Report
Ensure your account details are accurate. Closed accounts can remain visible for years.
✅ 3. Tell Your Mortgage Broker
Provide evidence of recently repaid debts so your broker can accurately assess your borrowing capacity.
✅ 4. Avoid Approval Delays
Having the right documents ready can prevent unnecessary lender questions.
💡 JEEVAN'S CREDIT TIP
Don't just pay off your debts. Keep the paperwork to prove it!
A simple closure letter could make your next home loan application much smoother.
