Credit Impaired Home Loans 


This loan is designed to assist those borrowers with bad credit or a poor credit history to purchase or refinance a home. By refinancing and consolidating your debts you may be able to minimise your repayments, settle debts in default and eventually clean up your credit rating. The level of impairment can range from arrears to bankruptcy with interest rates determined by level of credit impairment and LVR
At some point in the past, a borrower may have experienced difficulty in meeting their monthly commitments due to lack of work, in suffering an unexpected business loss or by having a difference of opinion with a former credit provider. Unfortunately, in these cases the former credit provider may have lodged a payment default (or black mark) on their credit report with a credit recording agency.
When applying for finance, a default lodged on a credit report may cause frustration as a lender may not take the time to understand the borrower’s explanation and surrounding circumstances on which the default occurred.

Credit-Impaired Loans are designed especially to assist a borrower in these circumstances. Usually these loans incur an extra interest rate margin and possibly extra fees and charges

Credit Impaired FAQ's
  • Are bankruptcies shown on a credit file?
    Yes, as part of our Public Record Information.

  • Clearout, what is it
    The term “clearout” is sometimes used on a credit report. The process for reporting a clearout is much simpler than that for reporting a default. There is no requirement that the debt be 60 days or more overdue or for any demand to have been made. A clearout listing remains on a report for seven years and it is likely that you will be unable to obtain more credit while the listing remains on your report, especially from any mainstream lender such as a bank.

    A lender can only list a clearout if it is reasonable to believe that your actions indicate an intention to no longer pay the debt. However, some lenders may make a clearout listing simply because you have changed address without providing contact details.

    Examples of where the clearout listing might be considered to be unreasonable: -
    • if you have simply been on holiday and the lender could not contact you during this time
    • if your last payment debt was a while ago, the debt has been sold and the new owner has only sent demands to your last known address

  • Will a Debt Agreement affect my credit report?
    Both the debt agreement proposal and the debt agreement are registered on the National Personal Insolvency Index (NPII). Veda Advantage, the credit-reporting agency uses the information on the NPII to advise any creditors that you are under a debt agreement and/or have submitted a debt agreement. A creditor can also register a default against your name with Veda Advantage. Your debt agreement will be listed on your credit report for a seven year period. During this time you may find it difficult to obtain credit.

  • What does Cross Reference mean
    When two or more files on the Veda Advantage database are found to be the same identity, they undergo a 'file combine process' to leave behind a single file. When two or more files on the database are found to belong to the same person, but are different identities, these files may not be combined but left as separate files. Examples of this situation include:

    • A woman goes from a maiden name to a married name or vice versa
    • An individual is using different names to obtain credit whether or not this may be intentional or fraudulent
    • Cross-reference information is given to Veda Advantage by our subscribers, the police and the subject themselves.

    When these files are identified as being related, they are assigned a 'cross reference' identifier pointing to the other related file(s).

  • What is a bankruptcy?
    An insolvency procedure that applies to a natural person, not to a company. When a person is unable to pay their debts it is possible for them to be declared bankrupt. Action may be taken by one of the creditors, or it may be taken by the individual themselves.

  • What is a Part 10 Debt agreement

This agreement is called a Personal Insolvency Agreement. Once accepted, the proposal is binding on the debtor and all creditors in respect of their unsecured provable debts. It enables the debtor and creditors to come to a mutually agreed compromise in a relatively simple way without reference to the court.. Traditionally Part X administrations are administered by Registered Trustees. They may also be administered by the Official Trustee in Bankruptcy (through the Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia, `ITSA’
