You are CRB-listed and want the listing cleared after paying the full outstanding amount.

Paying the loan does not automatically update CRB. After paying, request a clearance letter from the lender (most issue it within 7 working days). The lender then updates CRB directly; your listing typically clears within 14 days of the clearance letter being issued.
