Question
Q: Can I dispute the CIBIL status after payment?Answer
A:
Yes, you can dispute your CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau India Limited) credit report or status even after you have made a payment. Here’s how it works:
Incorrect Reporting: Sometimes, payments you made might not be reflected correctly in your credit report.
Delayed Updates: Lenders may delay updating your repayment status with CIBIL.
Errors or Omissions: Your account may still show as “delinquent,” “default,” or “non-payment” even after clearing dues.
Check Your Credit Report: Obtain a recent copy of your CIBIL report and carefully review the entries.
Identify Errors: Highlight any incorrect or outdated information related to your payments or loan status.
Raise a Dispute:
Visit the official CIBIL website.
Use their dispute resolution process to file a complaint or dispute about the specific error.
Provide supporting documents like payment receipts or bank statements as proof.
Lender Communication: CIBIL will communicate with the concerned lender to verify your claim.
Resolution Timeline: The dispute is typically resolved within 30 days of filing.
If the lender confirms your payment and the error, CIBIL will update your credit report accordingly.
If the lender denies the claim, the status may remain unchanged, but you can escalate the issue or seek legal advice.
Credit Report Analysis: Help you review your CIBIL report for errors.
Dispute Filing Support: Assist in preparing and submitting a formal dispute with proper documentation.
Lender Follow-Up: Coordinate communication with lenders for quicker resolution.
Legal Guidance: Provide advice if disputes remain unresolved or if you face unfair credit reporting.
