Charges for Changing Mobile Number in CIBIL

There are no charges for changing any information or raising a dispute on the CIBIL website. It is completely free of cost. 

But, a dispute can take anywhere between 30-45 days to be resolved. If you haven’t taken any subscription, you will not be able to view the updated information on your CIBIL report. You will just see the information as it was when you first logged in.

Thus you may consider taking a subscription if you have errors in your report that need to be rectified. Subscriptions for 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months cost Rs.550, Rs.800, and Rs.1,200, respectively. This gives you updated information for the duration that you have subscribed.

Importance of Updating Information in Your CIBIL

Your CIBIL report is much more than your CIBIL score. When lenders approve your loan, they go through each and every aspect of your credit report. Your report has the following types of information - 

• Personal Information
• Contact Information
• Employment Information
• Account Information
• Credit Application History

All of these together help the banks or lenders gauge your creditworthiness. They can get an overview of your financial behavior by studying your report. Outdated information may prove to be a roadblock while procuring a loan.

This is why keeping your CIBIL error-free and updated is very important. 

TransUnion CIBIL is the most commonly used credit score in India. Almost all banks check your CIBIL score first, and then any other score. To build trust, your credit report should be true to the best of your knowledge.

It is essential that you monitor your CIBIL score and report closely. Raise disputes and update information as and when required to maintain a good credit report.
