How to Resolve Credit Disputes and Remove a Defaulter Tag
There is no official "Defaulter List" maintained by CIBIL. However, if your report shows account status as "Written Off" or "Settled", banks view it as a defaulter marker and reject applications.
Steps to clear your CIBIL records:
- Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) after paying off outstanding dues.
- Raise a dispute on the CIBIL website using the unique Dispute Control Number.
- Wait up to 30 days for CIBIL to verify with the lender and update your status to "Closed".
