You’ve fully paid off your loan, but when you check your credit history in SLIK OJK, the data still appears active?
There’s no need to panic right away. A loan that still shows up doesn’t necessarily mean you still owe money. The financing facility might simply remain listed as part of your overall credit history.
The main thing you need to verify when checking your credit history is whether the status has been updated to "Paid Off" and that there is no remaining balance recorded.

Your Loan Has Been Fully Paid Off, but Why Is the Data Still Recorded in SLIK OJK?
SLIK OJK stores information about credit facilities reported by financial institutions. Therefore, after a loan is fully paid, the record for that facility won't necessarily disappear immediately from your report.
What matters most is the status, not just the presence of the facility name.
For instance, if you previously had an Rp10 million loan and settled it in full, that facility may still appear on your report. However, the details inside should indicate that the loan is settled and that there is no remaining active balance.
Key Rule: Still listed on the SLIK OJK report is not the same as still owing money.
Your Loan Has Been Paid Off Just Recently? The Data Might Still Be Processing
SLIK data updates don't always happen instantly the moment you make a payment.
OJK requires financial institutions to update and report a borrower's settlement status to the SLIK system no later than 3 business days after the payment is confirmed.
So, if you recently cleared a financial obligation with a bank or an online loan app, give the reporting institution a little time to complete the administrative update.
Steps to Take If the Status Hasn't Been Updated
What if several business days have passed and your loan status on the credit report still hasn't changed? The steps you need to take are quite practical:
- Prepare Proof of Payment: Keep receipts, a payoff letter (Surat Keterangan Lunas), or other official transaction records.
- Contact the Loan Provider: Reach out to the official customer service of the financial institution where you borrowed.
- Request a Data Update: Inform them that your obligation has been settled and ask them to verify and update the status report sent to SLIK OJK.
Because information in SLIK comes directly from financial institutions' reports, the party that reported the facility is responsible for making updates if any data is inaccurate.
Focus on the Status and Remaining Balance
When reviewing your credit records, your main focus should be ensuring your loan health check is accurate, specifically looking at the collectibility status (KOL) column and the remaining balance value, rather than worrying simply about whether the loan name is still listed.
If the status hasn't been updated after the standard processing window, simply confirm with your lender and request a check.
