Introduction
Loan settlement is a relief for borrowers under financial distress. But the common question is — Will it ruin my CIBIL score? The truth is, settlement does affect your score, but with the right strategies, you can recover.
Let’s understand how to settle a loan and rebuild your credit profile.
How Loan Settlement Impacts CIBIL
When you settle a loan, your credit report reflects “settled” instead of “closed”. This shows lenders you didn’t pay the full dues, reducing your score temporarily.
Smart Ways to Minimize the Damage
- Negotiate with Documentation
– Provide medical bills, job loss letters, or financial proofs. This ensures banks mark your account as a “closed settlement”, less harmful to CIBIL. - Pay in One-Time Lump Sum
– A quick closure through one-time settlement reduces prolonged negative reporting. - Take Small Credit Later
– After settlement, use secured credit cards or small loans and pay them on time to rebuild trust.
