Legal Question in Banking Law in India

You cannot get your name removed from CIBIL's list. Even after you make the payments, your name will remain on the list for around 7 years. Approach CIBIL to get a copy of your credit report. This right is given to you by Credit Information Companies Regulation Act, 2005. Make the request officially in writing and get an acknowledgement. Details: CREDIT INFORMATION BUREAU (INDIA) LIMITED, Hoechst House, 6th Floor, 193 Backbay Reclamation, Nariman Point, Mumbai 400021. Call: +91-2266384600/22817788, fax:+91-22 66384666, email:[email protected]. The report will outline what exactly is reported by the bank in respect to your credit account and enable you to take action. CIBIL is a credit bureau and not a bureau that maintains a list of defaulters only. It will necessarily disclose the facts regarding your credit history, like delayed payments in the past, dues settled without write-offs on the part of the bank. All potential lenders will have access to this information.
