Your CIBIL score is a critical number that determines your access to credit—whether it’s a loan, a credit card, or even approval for buying a mobile on EMI. However, most people unknowingly make small mistakes that damage their credit health over time.
In this blog, we’ll uncover the most common CIBIL score mistakes, explain why they matter, and show you how Mystic Finance can help fix and avoid them.
⚠️ 1. Late or Missed EMI & Credit Card Payments
Why it hurts:
Payment history is the most heavily weighted factor (approx. 35%) in your credit score. Even one missed EMI or credit card bill can cause a drop of 50–100 points.
Real impact:
A delay of more than 30 days gets reported to CIBIL. Repeated delays show poor financial discipline and reduce lender trust.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They help you set up auto-payments, prioritize high-impact payments, and negotiate with lenders in case of unavoidable delays. If there are reporting errors, they initiate disputes to remove them.
2. High Credit Utilization Ratio
Why it hurts:
Using over 30% of your total available credit limit signals financial stress—even if you pay your bills on time. This can lower your score significantly.
Example:
If your card limit is ₹1,00,000 and you consistently use ₹80,000+, it appears risky to lenders.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They guide you in spreading balances across multiple cards, requesting credit limit increases, or paying down balances to bring your utilization ratio below 30%.
️ 3. Having Only One Type of Credit
Why it hurts:
A limited credit mix (only credit cards or only personal loans) can keep your score stagnant. A healthy mix of secured (like home or auto loans) and unsecured credit boosts your profile.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They assess your current portfolio and recommend the right type of credit to add—without increasing financial burden. Their expert strategies ensure balanced credit growth.
4. Ignoring Your Credit Report
Why it hurts:
Errors in your report—like loans you didn’t take or payments marked as overdue—can seriously damage your score. Many users don’t even know their reports contain mistakes until it’s too late.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They perform deep audits of your credit report, identify discrepancies, and raise disputes directly with the credit bureau to get your record corrected.
5. Applying for Too Many Loans or Cards at Once
Why it hurts:
Each application results in a “hard inquiry.” Multiple inquiries in a short time create a red flag and lower your score.
Example:
Applying for 3–4 credit cards or personal loans within a month shows desperation, even if you’re financially stable.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They help you plan your applications wisely and space out enquiries to avoid unnecessary credit checks. They also check your eligibility before you apply to avoid rejections.
❌ 6. Closing Old Credit Accounts
Why it hurts:
The length of your credit history is an important scoring factor. Closing old credit cards reduces your average account age, which can negatively impact your score.
Mystic Finance Solution:
They advise you on which accounts to keep open, how to use older accounts strategically, and when it’s actually safe to close an account.
Bonus Mistake: Settling Instead of Closing a Loan
Why it hurts:
When you “settle” a loan—by paying less than the full amount—it is marked as such in your report. It’s better than defaulting but worse than paying in full, and can stick for 7 years.
Mystic Finance Solution:
Mystic Finance helps negotiate with lenders to close accounts rather than settle. If you’ve already settled, they guide you on rebuilding the score and filing updates.
