CIBIL Dispute Status: What Each Status Means and How to Track It
CIBIL dispute status shows where your credit report correction request currently stands. After you file a dispute on the CIBIL website, the system assigns a status, such as Pending, Under Review, or Resolved, that updates as your lender responds. Each status tells you something specific: whether CIBIL has received the dispute, whether the lender has replied, and whether the error has been fixed or rejected.

Does a Bounced Cheque Reduce Your CIBIL Score?
A bounced cheque will reduce your CIBIL score, but only under certain conditions. If the cheque was for an EMI or loan payment and the bank reports the missed payment to the credit bureau, your score drops. If it was a casual personal cheque with no loan linked to it, your score isn't touched. The damage depends entirely on what the cheque was for and what the lender does next.
