What
Should One Do, if there is a Mistake in the CIBIL Report
Typically,
one checks credit report when one's loan gets rejected and the loan
provider tells that it is because of some information on credit
report. Mistakes on a credit report can be easily corrected
with the CIBIL’s help. All you need to do is:
a)
Purchase your CIBIL credit report
b)
Identify the erroneous information
c) Provide
name, address, date of birth, a Control Number and the nature of the error on
the credit bureau’s website.
The
Control Number is a unique 9-digit number found on the top right hand side of
your CIBIL Credit Information Report and is generated every time
a credit report is generated. It is very important to provide this
number to the bureau, as it helps identify the CIBIL credit report on
which you would like to ‘dispute’ information.
