Pay every obligation before the due date
Payment history is one of the strongest signals in your credit report. Even a small missed card bill or EMI can stay visible and reduce lender confidence.
Set reminders for credit cards, EMIs, and BNPL dues. Where possible, keep auto-debit enabled with enough balance.
Control utilisation on credit cards
Using a high percentage of your available card limit can make your profile look stretched. Try keeping utilisation comfortably below the limit even when you pay in full.
Review report errors
If a closed loan still appears active or a repayment is incorrectly marked late, raise a dispute with the bureau and the lender with supporting proof.
