How to get a clearance certificate from debt review

What Is a Debt Review Clearance Certificate?

A clearance certificate is an official document confirming that you have settled all your debts included in the debt review process, except for home loans. It’s a crucial requirement for removing the debt review flag from your credit record.

Once issued, credit bureaus are legally obligated to remove the flag, restore your credit status, and allow you to access credit again if needed.

How do I know if my name is cleared from debt review?

You can check if your name is cleared from debt review by getting a copy of your credit report. If you are cleared, there should be no flag on your credit report.

Can I buy a car immediately after debt review?

After receiving your clearance certificate or successfully completing the debt review process, you need to give the Credit Bureaus time to update your profile. It's often best to allow for 3-4 months before applying for credit.
