I have other cards that I use.
I recently applied for a credit card and when they checked my CIBIL score I discovered that the card is still shown as 'active' in my CIBIL score with a 'written off' status.
How do I resolve this?
Suppose the concerned credit institution does not resolve the dispute filed on CIBIL site, within 30 days. In that case, CIBIL uses an automated process where a daily reminder is sent to the bank / CI until the dispute is resolved.
Further, if you are not satisfied with the dispute resolution, you can contact the concerned credit institution directly. Alternatively, you can again initiate a dispute request with CIBIL, which will re-verify it with the relevant credit institution and update its records accordingly.
