Hi Tony,
Thanks for the question.
The Pepper Essential Home Loan doesn’t allow discharged bankrupt borrowers, but the Pepper Money Easy Home Loan and the Pepper Money Advantage Full Doc Plus Home Loan allows people discharged from bankruptcy from 1 day to be considered.
I hope this helps,

Paid default to baycorp originally a telstra debt $2080 am I eligible for this?
March 2, 2015
Hi CMS,
Thanks for your question.
To be eligible for a Pepper Home Loan you need to have at least a 10% deposit. Paid defaults above $500 are not accepted with the Essentials home loan, but other Pepper home loans do accept paid or unpaid defaults depending on how long ago they were registered on your credit file.
Cheers,
Shirley

What about if I owed a bank $2000, what can I do? I am only a Pensioner and currently with the Office of the Protective Commissioner, am I still eligible? Please get back to me on this asap. Should I need to withdraw from the Office of the Protective Commissioner’s Services to get a loan, I can do so.

Hi Paul,
thanks for the question.
This loan only accepts minor non-financial defaults of up to $500 on your credit file, and these defaults must be paid. Other Pepper Home Loans such as the Flexi Advantage Plus can be applied for if you have had unpaid defaults on your credit file. To find out more you might want to contact a mortgage broker using the form on the right hand side of this page.
I hope this helps,
Marc.

Can a pensioner apply for this loan? Can the fees be paid with the loan that you get or do I have to pay for it separately? Fees such as establishment fee, lender protection fee and legal fee

Hi Paul,
thanks for the question.
You must pay the establishment fee upfront, but the remaining fees can be added to the loan amount. Centrelink pensions are accepted as a form of income for this loan.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
