Advantage of ‘no dues’ status over ‘ settled’ status in CIBIL report for Credit card dues

POSTED BY Ankur Sehgal ON November 28, 2012 11:38 pm COMMENTS (2)

hi, 

I had a fraud with SCB in the year 2009 and now, on checking the CIBIL report, i found out that the amount has risen from 11K INR to 65K INR. On following up with SCB, the Collection team came back giving 2 options – No dues (41K INR) or Settled (25K INR)

PLease let me know the advantage of No dues status in Cibil over Settled status for my future.

 

thanks,

ankur

    If you have a “settled” remark on you report, it means you failed to pay off the loan/credit on time making you financially irresponsible/untrustworthy. It might affect you in future where banks will certainly look into your settled remark and might be hesitant to give you loans (any kind, Car/House loans, new credit cards).Also, the settled remark remains in your report for a minimum of 7 years. Its better to pay off the amount and get yourself a no due.
