Loan Rejections and Disputes
If your loan has been rejected due to defaults reported in your CIBIL records, you might be concerned about how to address these issues. CIBIL does not maintain a defaulters list but rather keeps a record of individuals' credit histories as reported by Member Credit Institutions. The decision to grant a loan is based on the credit policy of the lending institution. To review your credit history and identify any possible discrepancies or errors, you can purchase your CIBIL Score and Report.
Inaccuracies that may reflect on your CIBIL report include:
Ownership
- If some personal details or accounts/enquiries on your Credit Information Report (CIR) do not belong to you.
Incorrect Personal Details
- Credit Institutions submit details of your credit account along with personal/contact/employment information such as name, address, date of birth, PAN, telephone number, income, etc. CIBIL creates your complete credit profile based on these details. It is important to update your Credit Institution whenever there is a change in this information, as incorrect details may lead to a wrong CIR.
Inaccurate Account Details
- Credit Institutions generally submit data to CIBIL within 30-45 days. If you purchase your CIBIL Report within 45 days of your last payment of dues, it may not be updated, leading to inaccurate current balance or amount overdue in your report. If the ‘Date Reported’ associated with an account is older than 2 months and the payment made is still not reflecting, you can raise a dispute.
