Previously,a borrower used to get credit information from the bank where he applied for the home loan.A home loan application was liable to be rejected on account of negative or poor scoring by CIBIL.The lenders never provided the CIR to borrowers. Once a borrower found out that the credit information was incorrect,on his request,the lender would provide him a nine digit unique borrower control number.
With the control number,the borrower was supposed to contact CIBIL to get the exact details related to the negative or poor scoring details.Many times,due to wrong reporting by member organisations,it was found that the CIBIL report was incorrect.In order to get the mistakes rectified,the borrower had to go through a long process.
A borrower can now access his CIR directly from CIBIL.A CIR is a record of the credit payment history compiled from information received from credit institutions.The purpose is to help credit institutions make informed lending decisions - quickly and objectively - and enable faster processing of credit applications to help provide quicker access to credit at better terms.
In order to get the report,one needs to fill up a requisition form available on CIBIL's website (www.cibil.com). After filling the form,you have to provide self-attested copies of some documents to CIBIL.The documents needed with the application are identity proof and address proof.
With the new base rate system of interest rates coming into effect,it would be all the more beneficial for home loan borrowers.The interest rates will henceforth be based on the base rate plus a premium depending on the credit rating of the borrower.A good credit rating helps in getting a loan at a lower interest rate as compared to a loan based on a bad credit rating.
