In India, CIBIL is the first company to enter for providing the credit score and credit history for the bank’s customers. All the banks in India check with CIBIL for the details of the customer after receiving the application. Last week I have published an article about the online application to get the CIBIL report. This CIBIL report tells the details like your existing loan amount, what is the EMI and if you have missed any repayment schedule that too would be provided to the banks. Customers can request for this report and correct it if there is any mistakes in the data. In this article we will know about the new company Equifax to get the risk score.
