Correcting inaccuracies in your CIBIL report is essential to ensure your credit profile accurately reflects your financial history.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to correct errors in your CIBIL report:
Identify Errors: Obtain a copy of your CIBIL report from the CIBIL website or through other authorized channels. Carefully review the report to identify any inaccuracies or discrepancies in personal information, credit accounts, payment history, etc.
Gather Supporting Documents: Collect relevant documents that support your claim of inaccuracies, such as loan statements, payment receipts, correspondence with lenders, or any other documentation that verifies the correct information.
Contact CIBIL: Visit the CIBIL website and navigate to the section for disputing information on your credit report. Fill out the online dispute resolution form provided by CIBIL, providing details of the information you believe is incorrect and attaching supporting documents. Alternatively, you can submit your dispute via email or physical mail to the address provided by CIBIL.
Verification Process: CIBIL will initiate an investigation into your dispute upon receiving your request and supporting documents. They will contact the concerned lender(s) to verify the accuracy of the disputed information.
Resolution and Updates: Once the investigation is complete, CIBIL will update your credit report based on the findings. If the disputed information is found to be inaccurate, CIBIL will correct your report accordingly. You will receive a notification from CIBIL regarding the outcome of your dispute and any updates made to your credit report.
Follow-Up: Monitor your CIBIL report after the dispute resolution process to ensure that corrections have been accurately reflected. If the dispute is resolved in your favor, and the corrections are not updated within a reasonable time, follow up with CIBIL for clarification and ensure timely updates.
