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:


1. Why You Might Dispute Your CIBIL Status After Payment

  • 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.


2. How to Dispute a CIBIL Status

  • 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  • Identify Errors: Highlight any incorrect or outdated information related to your payments or loan status.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.


3. What Happens After Dispute Resolution

  • 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.
