Your CIBIL score is more than just a number. It plays a vital role in determining your creditworthiness for loans, credit cards, home financing, and even rental or job applications in some cases. Ranging between 300 and 900, the higher your score, the better your chances of approval—and at favorable terms.
So, what exactly affects this score? Let’s break down the six key factors that influence your CIBIL score and understand how Mystic Finance can help optimize each one.
1. Payment History (Weight: ~35%)
What it means:
This is the most critical factor. It tracks how consistently you’ve paid your credit card bills and EMIs. One late or missed payment can hurt your score significantly.
Why it matters:
Even a single missed EMI can reduce your score by 50–100 points. Regular timely payments, on the other hand, build lender confidence.
How Mystic Finance helps:
Mystic Finance reviews your payment records, sets up auto-debit reminders, and helps you negotiate late payments if needed. They also assist in rectifying any falsely reported delays.
2. Credit Utilization Ratio (Weight: ~30%)
What it means:
This is the percentage of your available credit limit that you’re currently using. Using more than 30–40% can signal financial stress.
Why it matters:
If you consistently max out your credit card or use over 50% of your limit, lenders might think you’re dependent on borrowed money.
How Mystic Finance helps:
They guide you to lower your usage, balance out debt between cards, or increase limits where possible—all while keeping utilization in check.
3. Length of Credit History (Weight: ~15%)
What it means:
The age of your oldest active credit account and the average age of all your accounts.
Why it matters:
A longer credit history shows a stable borrowing and repayment pattern. It adds credibility and improves your score over time.
How Mystic Finance helps:
They advise on keeping old accounts open and suggest which ones to use strategically to build a healthier history without accumulating new debt.
4. Credit Mix (Weight: ~10%)
What it means:
This factor looks at the variety of your credit—secured loans (home, auto) vs. unsecured credit (personal loans, credit cards).
Why it matters:
Lenders prefer a balanced mix. It shows you’re capable of handling different types of credit responsibly.
How Mystic Finance helps:
They analyze your existing portfolio and guide you on optimizing the credit blend—whether it’s adding a secured loan or managing unsecured debts.
5. Number of Credit Inquiries (Weight: ~10%)
What it means:
Every time you apply for credit, it’s recorded as a “hard inquiry.” Too many inquiries in a short period lower your score.
Why it matters:
Multiple inquiries suggest credit hunger. It’s a red flag for lenders.
How Mystic Finance helps:
They track your credit activity and advise you when to apply, space out inquiries, and avoid unnecessary credit applications.
6. Negative Records / Defaults
What it means:
Defaults, written-off accounts, or past settlements can remain on your report for up to 7 years.
Why it matters:
Even if a loan was settled, it doesn’t reflect as “closed.” This lowers trust among new lenders.
How Mystic Finance helps:
They help clean up your report by negotiating full closures, updating settlement statuses, and filing official disputes if needed.
