Why is the loan balance in my application higher than my current loan amount?

You might notice that the loan balance shown in your Unloan application doesn’t quite match what you expect. Here’s why that can happen.

When you start an Unloan home loan application and agree to a credit check, we automatically pre‑fill your liabilities using information from your credit report. This data comes from Credit Reporting Bodies under Comprehensive Credit Reporting (CCR).

Sometimes, the information on your credit report doesn’t line up perfectly with the balance you see with your current lender. Common reasons include:

  • Redraw balances on your loan

  • Additional repayments you’ve made over time that weren’t recorded as principal repayments

If the details you enter don’t match what we receive from the credit reporting bodies for the same loan, one of our lending specialists will get in touch. They’ll help confirm the correct balance and collect any information needed to keep your application moving.
