Understanding Credit Report

CREDIT REPORT

A credit report is a report which provides detailed information about your credit history and how you have paid your dues in the past. A credit report is the most important document necessary to provide while availing of a loan. If the credit score in the report is high it is relatively easier to avail loans from BANKs & NBFCs. If low, multiple steps have to be taken to increase the credit score so that the loan availing process is smooth and hustle-free

Few companies provide credit reports to BANKs & NBFCs. Some of them are Experian, Equifax, and Transunion CIBIL. Though all these companies give out similar credit reports there are few differences between them. CIBIL is the most widely used credit report in India. CIBIL is connected to 99.9% of the banks and they can provide credit reports to all BANKs and NBFCs.
