Should you check Credit Score via this method?
First of all, the method introduced by wishfin is a lengthy method. After giving miscall end user still needs to provide a lot of information including PAN card for getting a credit score. They could have thought to fetch information according to a mobile number.
The second thing is it is claimed to be free facility. But, please remember that ‘There’s no such thing as free lunch”. Wishfin is clearly asking consent from end user in web based form which says – I authorize Wishfin.com & its partnering banks to contact me to explain the product & I agree to the Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy. This clearly indicates they will be trying to market their products for gaining benefits. Another concern is you need to share important information on WhatsApp for getting credit score which will be a security concern.
Although wishfin is partnered with CIBIL for credit score, I would still recommend using simple method of getting CIBIL credit score along with report. One simple reason is CIBIL credit report contains lot of information including loan repayment history, outstanding loan amount etc.
Which are other methods to check Credit Score?
A simple method to check credit score along with credit information report is given below.
- Visit CIBIL Free Credit Score Section.
- Provide basic information including username, password, full name, e-mail and telephone number.
- Click on continue to step 2 and you will be prompted to provide information like date of birth, gender, address and identity proof number.
- Once you accept and move to step 3, you need to verify your identity. Once you verify your identity you will be able to access credit score along with credit information report.
I hope the information given above will help you in getting your Free Credit Score.
