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:

  1. Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) after paying off outstanding dues.
  2. Raise a dispute on the CIBIL website using the unique Dispute Control Number.
  3. Wait up to 30 days for CIBIL to verify with the lender and update your status to "Closed".
