These errors can lower your credit score and affect loan approvals. To correct them, raise a dispute through myCIBIL using your 9-digit control number and upload supporting documents such as ID proof, bank statements, payment receipts, or loan closure certificates. Corrections may take 7-14 days for personal details, 30 days for account-related issues, 30-45 days for payment disputes, and up to 60 days for fraud-related cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/credit-score\/how-to-correct-your-cibil-report\/#Why_your_CIBIL_report_may_have_errors\" >Why your CIBIL report may have errors&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/credit-score\/how-to-correct-your-cibil-report\/#Types_of_CIBIL_report_errors_you_can_correct\" >Types of CIBIL report errors you can correct&nbsp;<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/credit-score\/how-to-correct-your-cibil-report\/#1_Wrong_personal_details\" >1.&nbsp;Wrong personal details&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/credit-score\/how-to-correct-your-cibil-report\/#2_Closed_account_showing_as_open\" >2.

Since lenders update data regularly, mistakes can sometimes appear in your report. Common reasons for cibil report correction requests include delayed updates from banks, human data entry mistakes, duplicate loan reporting, incorrect payment status, and identity fraud or unauthorized loans. Even a single error can affect your loan eligibility, interest rates, and approval chances. This is why cibil correction should be done immediately after identifying any issue. If you are wondering how to correct CIBIL score issues quickly, the first step is identifying and correcting errors in your CIBIL report through the official dispute process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_CIBIL_report_errors_you_can_correct\"><\/span>Types of CIBIL report errors you can correct&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Wrong_personal_details\"><\/span><strong>1.&nbsp;<\/strong>Wrong personal details&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of error includes incorrect name spelling, wrong date of birth, incorrect mobile number, PAN details, or address mismatch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What it is: Incorrect identity details appearing in your CIBIL report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to fix: Raise a CIBIL correction request by submitting valid ID proof such as Aadhaar, PAN, or Passport.

The lender must then update the account status from \u201copen\u201d to \u201cclosed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Incorrect_outstanding_balance\"><\/span>3.
