How to rectify your Bad Credit?

A person’s credit score plays an important role in determining his/her

creditworthiness. In India, there are only 4 credit bureaus licensed by RBI to
provide credit scores. Amongst all of them, CIBIL score is the most popular, and
the word ‘CIBIL score’ is often used with ‘credit score’ and refers to a score
ranging between 300 and 900, with 900 being the highest score.
The highest score you have, the higher are the chances of an individual’s loan
application getting approved. The credit score is vital because it showcases how
risky an individual as a borrower.
The report is also known as CIR (Credit Information Report). This can be received
by applying on the official website of CIBIL. When you receive, understanding the
CIBIL report becomes important to verify the accuracy of the information in the
report.
However, it is also important to the factors affecting credit score as it gives an
opportunity to an individual to improve his/her score over a period of time.
In the following paragraphs, we will be discussing the factors that affect a credit
score.
Payment History

This factor contributes to 35% of the total score. How regularly and timely you
pay your bills affects your credit score most than any other factor. This signifies
that whether you can be trusted to repay the amount loaned to you or not.

Credit Utilization
This contributes 30% of your score. As per guidelines, an individual should not use
more than 30% of the available credit limit because it is a negative sign for
creditors. Having too much debt can affect your credit score.

Credit History Length

This makes up 15% of the score. This includes both the age of your oldest credit
account and an average of all your accounts. The longer your credit history, the
higher your credit score as it shows you have a lot of experience handling credit.

Credit Mix
This makes up 10% of the score. An individual holds a diversified portfolio like
installment loans, mortgages, credit card, etc., this is best for your credit score.

New Credit

This constitutes 10% of your credit score. Too many inquiries, most importantly
within a short span of time can affect your credit score adversely.
An individual who is scoring below 600 is considered to be a relatively high credit
risk for a lender.
