What Are the different Credit Bureaus that you report my loan data to?
In India, there are 4 well known Credit Information Companies that track the Credit Score of an individual. These are CIBIL, Experian, Equifax and CRIF Highmark. These are entities regulated by law and have all the loan and repayment information of an individual, be it a credit card use, a bank loan, or a telecom postpaid connection. We submit your loan related update to all of these 4 credit bureaus as part of our standard operating procedure.
How Can I Possibly Enhance my Loan/Credit Limit?
To begin with, every customer has a set maximum loan/credit amount up to which he/she can avail loans from us. There is a good chance of this amount increasing, when you availing more loans and make timely repayments. However, this also depends on other factors like your monthly salary, credit score, repayment history with other lenders and a host of other information that we get from you when you create your profile. While making timely repayments increases the probability of enhancing your loan/credit limit, it does not guarantee the same.
How is my Credit Score connected to the loan that I avail?
Once you take a Loan and repay it back on time, your credit report reflects the same. This helps you avail a bigger loan at a later stage from us (subject to eligibility) or from other banks or other financial institutions and also you may also get it at a lower interest rate. However, if you don’t repay the loan on time or default on the same, then your credit score may get negatively impacted. And, it becomes nearly impossible to avail a loan from any other bank due to your poor repayment history. Even if a loan is approved, the interest rate that will be charged will be considerably higher.
What is the typical processing time for updating a customer’s payment status with the credit bureau?
We submit data to all credit bureaus once every month and the Credit bureaus take around 45-60 days to update the same in your credit report. Please download your latest credit report from the official websites of the Credit Bureaus. Free credit reports available on 3rd party websites usually reflect old data and they may take around 2-3 months to reflect latest changes.
