Frequently asked questions

How does Experian calculate your credit score?

Your credit score is calculated by Experian based on your credit history and credit behaviour. They employ a scoring model with a range of 300 to 900 points, with higher scores indicating lesser risk. Your credit score is affected by factors such as your payment history, credit utilisation, credit mix, length of credit history, and current credit queries. Experian updates your credit record on a regular basis, and your score may fluctuate as a result.

What is a credit enquiry?

A credit enquiry occurs when a lender or creditor requests access to your credit report in order to assess your creditworthiness. Each credit enquiry has a temporary effect on your credit score, as multiple queries in a short period of time may suggest credit reliance or financial difficulty. It is critical to be careful with credit inquiries and to apply for credit only when absolutely necessary.

Does checking my own credit score hurt it?

No, monitoring your own credit score will not harm your credit score. It's a soft inquiry that has no bearing on your credit score. Checking your credit score on a regular basis will assist you in identifying any inaccuracies or anomalies that may be harming your credit profile, allowing you to correct them and keep a good credit score. The Bajaj Finserv Credit Pass gives you quick and easy access to your CIBIL Score and other credit health details.
