A “write-off” occurs when a borrower fails to repay a loan, and the lender categorizes the outstanding amount as a loss. In the context of a Bajaj Finance loan, this could happen if payments are overdue for a significant period, and the lender concludes that the debt is unlikely to be recovered.
While a write-off does not mean the debt is forgiven, it has severe consequences for your CIBIL score. A write-off status in your credit report signals to other lenders that you are a high-risk borrower, making it harder to secure future loans or credit cards.
How to remove write-off status from a Bajaj loan?
If your Bajaj Finance loan has been marked as “written off,” you can take the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Contact Bajaj Finance customer support:
Reach out to Bajaj Finance to understand the details of the write-off. Request a detailed loan statement to verify the outstanding amount. - Settle your dues:
Pay off the outstanding amount in full or negotiate a settlement with Bajaj Finance. Ensure you receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or settlement letter as proof of payment. - Raise a dispute with CIBIL:
After clearing the dues, contact CIBIL to update your credit report. Submit the NOC or settlement letter as supporting documentation. - Follow up regularly:
Stay in touch with both Bajaj Finance and CIBIL to ensure the write-off status is removed from your report.

How to remove or correct DPD (Days Past Due) on Bajaj loans?
Days Past Due (DPD) indicates the number of days a payment is delayed. Incorrect DPD entries in your CIBIL report can occur due to reporting errors or delays in updating payment records. Here is how you can resolve or correct DPD issues:
- Verify your payment history:
Check your Bajaj Finance loan account statement to identify any discrepancies in payment records. - Clear overdue payments:
If you have missed any payments, clear them immediately to bring your account up to date. - Dispute incorrect entries:
If the DPD entry is inaccurate, raise a dispute with Bajaj Finance and provide evidence of timely payments. - Request an updated report:
Once the error is corrected, ensure that Bajaj Finance notifies CIBIL to update your credit report.
Actionable Tip
Regularly monitor your Bajaj Finance loan account and payment history to avoid DPD-related issues.
