Credit Score Drops Despite Timely EMIs? Common Reporting Errors

  • Credit scores are crucial for loan eligibility and interest rates, with good scores typically above 750.
  • Errors in credit reports, such as data entry mistakes, misspellings, or mismatched PAN numbers, can negatively impact your score.
  • Delayed bank updates can cause timely EMI payments to be reported as late, lowering your credit score.
  • Loans remaining active on reports after clearance or duplicate entries can falsely inflate credit utilization or indicate identity theft.

Why It Matters: Errors can unfairly lower your credit score, impacting loan eligibility and rates.
