Conquering CBA Mortgage Mountain: A Hilariously Helpful Guide to Discharge
So, you've scaled the treacherous peak of CBA mortgage mountain and reached the glorious summit – you've paid off your home loan! But wait, there's still one final hurdle: discharging the mortgage. Don't worry, intrepid adventurer, this guide will equip you with the knowledge (and a few laughs) to navigate this bureaucratic bunny hill.
Step 1: Unearthing the Discharge/Refinance Authority
This mythical document is your key to unlocking mortgage freedom. Fear not, you won't need to solve riddles or battle a three-headed loan officer. The Discharge/Refinance Authority form can be found lurking in the depths of the CBA website like a digital treasure map!: refer to CBA website for details.
Step 2: Deciphering the Hieroglyphics (Filling Out the Form)
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Deep breaths, mortgage slayers! The form might look like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics at first, but fret not. Grab your finest pen (or a chisel, if you're feeling particularly adventurous) and get ready to fill in your details. Don't worry, it's mostly straightforward stuff – names, addresses, and enough numbers to make your head spin (but hopefully not your bank account).
Top Tip: If you get stuck, don't be afraid to call the CBA on their "Mortgage Mystery Hotline" (it's not a real hotline, but it should be).
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.

Step 3: The Great Signing Ceremony

Now comes the moment of truth: gathering the signatures of all borrowers and guarantors. This could involve:
- Bribing family members with cookies (it's cheaper than a celebratory dinner).
- Tracking down that elusive guarantor who lives on a mountaintop and communicates only through carrier pigeons (well, maybe not that extreme).
- Forging signatures in invisible ink (highly discouraged, and potentially illegal). Just kidding! Please don't do that.
Step 4: Unleashing the Form Upon the CBA
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
With triumphant fanfare (or a simple sigh of relief), send the completed form back to the CBA. You have two options, both equally thrilling:
- Email it to their designated address (cbadischarges@cba.com.au) – it's like sending a digital carrier pigeon!
- Embark on a daring quest to your nearest CBA branch and personally deliver the form – think Indiana Jones, but with paperwork.
The Final Countdown
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
The CBA will then process your form, which can take anywhere from 10 to 14 business days. In the meantime, here are some productive ways to spend your time:
- Celebrate your newfound financial freedom! Do a victory dance, buy a celebratory beverage (non-alcoholic, of course, we're responsible homeowners now).
- Start planning how you'll spend all that extra money you'll have each month (retirement mansion in the Bahamas, anyone?).
- Take up a new hobby like interpretive mortgage form dancing (just kidding... unless?).
Congratulations! You've successfully discharged your CBA mortgage and conquered the bureaucratic beast. Now, go forth and enjoy the sweet taste of financial freedom (and maybe a celebratory cookie or two).
