Whether loan track of any loan appears in the CIBIL report if the customer stands guarantor for the said loan Yes, The track of the loan will appear in the Guarantor’s Credit report & a bad track record of that loan may arrive into a rejection of loan by banker.

 What is Credit Score :

 The credit history & repayment behavior of a customer is translated into a number developed by CIBIL, called 'credit score' ranging from 300-900. It is an indicator of the credit-worthiness of a customer. It predicts the likelihood of a consumer defaulting on a payment. A borrower who is more financially disciplined will have a higher credit score. Higher credit scores are better.

  

How Does a Score Is Related to Loan Appraisal :

A strong credit history & a higher score will get you better credit terms - better loan amounts & attractive rates of interest. If you have defaulted on any payment, then your credit history will be impacted and it may limit your ability to get a new credit product, or sustain the current product

What if a Bank has rejected my loan application on account of unfavorable CIBIL report / score:

How CIBIL get & share Credit information of consumers

How CIBIL get & share Credit information of consumers

CIBIL collects credit information of the customers of each member financial institutes & get it compiled by its own. CIBIL share the credit report of consumers with in its member group only. The Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005, and various Rules and Regulations issued by Reserve Bank of India has empowered CIBIL or (Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd to collect the data from various types of credit grantors (i.e. lenders). and then share the same within the group.   The legislation has enabled banks to submit data to CIBIL without obtaining borrower consent. This has enabled CIBIL to tracks repayment history of bank customers loans, credit cards and further banking finances. Data sharing is based on the Principle of Reciprocity, which means that only Members who have submitted all their credit data, may access Credit Information Reports from CIBIL. The relationship between CIBIL and its Members is that of close interdependence.

For credit grantors to gain a complete picture of the payment history of a credit applicant, they must be able to gain access to the applicant's complete credit record that may be spread over different institutions. CIBIL collects company and consumer credit-related data and collates such data to create and distribute credit reports to Members.

Thus, we can say that CIBIL collects commercial and consumer credit-related data and collates such data to create and distribute credit reports to Members.   (A Credit Information Report (CIR) is a factual record of a borrower's credit payment history compiled from information received from different credit grantors

Member banks contribute to CIBIL on a monthly basis data of all their customers who maintain a loan/credit-card account with them. You may not get your payment updated with CIBIL immediately after your payment since its update their data on the basis of monthly report of members.

Can a customer’s name be deleted from CIBIL?

No, since bankers share credit data monthly with the CIBIL so, a customer's name cannot be removed from CIBIL's database.

How to Own your CIBIL Report

How to Own your CIBIL Report

There is a procedure for purchase of one's own CIBIL report so that before you apply for loan, you are aware of the same & you may get the errors rectified, if there any, before you’re your lender seen the wrong credit report of yours. .  You can visit the following link to buy the report from CIBIL https://www.cibil.com/online/credit-score-check.do

Since April 2011, Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd (CIBIL), India's first credit information company, has allowed consumers to purchase their "CIBIL TransUnion Score" directly from CIBIL & is now available to consumers for Rs 470.

The very purpose of sharing the CIBIL report with consumers is to help them to assess their own credit history better and enable them to 'see themselves as lenders do. Knowing their CIBIL TransUnion Score will enable consumers to better manage their credit history, avail speedier access to credit and derive benefits associated with good credit history. The score is provided along with the CIBIL Credit Information Report (CIR). The TransUnion Score is a three-digit numeric summary (ranging from 300 to 900) of a consumer's credit history, compiled from information received from credit institutions who are members of CIBIL.

  

An individual's score provides a credit institution with an indication of the "probability of default" based on his/her credit history. It helps in estimating the likelihood of repayment of their loan based on the individual's past pattern of credit usage and loan repayment behavior.    The closer the score is to 900, the more confidence the credit institution will have in the individual's ability to repay the loan and hence, the better the chances of his/her application getting approved.

Consumers can pay for availing their TransUnion Score by following an online payment procedure or through a demand draft. The higher the score, the more favorably it is viewed by credit institutions. However, every institution has its own benchmark of what constitutes a good credit score & sometimes they generate CIBIL without score which gives just the track record & they used to analyse the same at their own. CIBIL does not recommend any cut-off score loan application eligibility.

CIBIL benefits both credit grantors and consumers by collecting, analysing and delivering information on credit histories of millions of borrowers. It provides its members with information on both consumer and commercial borrowers, thus enabling them make sound credit decisions across both individuals and businesses.
