There is some technical issue. Please try again later.

Banks and other money-lending institutions take a lot of risk when they give loan to a person especially when the loan is free from collateral. Even the lenders need assurance that the amount which they are lending to the consumers or companies will be repaid after a certain period. To reduce such a risk, the lenders depend on the Credit Information Reports (CIR) of independent agencies known as the Credit Information Companies.

What is a Credit Information Company?

Credit Information Companies (CIC’s) are the specialized financial institutions that collect and maintain credit and loan related information of commercial institutions and individuals. On the basis of their financial records, they create a credit report and score, which helps the lender and credit grantors to decide whether to accept or decline the applicant’s request for a loan or credit card. This report gives lenders an insight to the applicant’s credit history, which helps the lenders to make an informed decision without putting much effort and wasting time of both the parties.

How does the Credit Information Company Works?

Member banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions send financial reports of the registered individuals to all Credit Information Companies on monthly basis. These Credit Information Companies use the collected information to create a credit report. This credit report contains a person’s personal information, payment history, number of accounts, defaults (if any), credit transactions, outstanding loan amount and other such financial information. On the basis of the credit report, credit score is given to an individual. The range for credit score is usually 350-850. The credit score is a reflection of an individual’s credit worthiness. The higher your credit score, the easier your financial journey will be.

When you apply for a loan, the lenders contact the Credit Information Companies to see your credit report and to judge your loan repaying ability. They will lend you money only if they are satisfied with your credit score and credit history. Therefore, your credit score plays a vital role in approval and rejection of your loan or credit card application. Other entities to whom the Credit Information Companies provide credit reports on request includes banks, consumers, credit providers, insurance companies, and collection agencies.
