🧾Credit Score Myths Busted: 15 Common Misunderstandings That Are Hurting Your Score!

💡 Lawfully Finance, India’s No. 1 trusted debt relief platform, brings you the truth behind the biggest credit score myths that are silently ruining your financial future.

A huge number of Indian borrowers are unknowingly living with false beliefs about their credit reports, causing rejections in loans, credit cards, and even job applications. Let’s clear the confusion today:


Top 15 Myths That Are Hurting Your Credit Score:


Myth 1: Checking your own credit score will lower it.

Truth: Soft inquiries like checking your score through apps or reports do not impact your score. It’s only hard inquiries by lenders that do.


Myth 2: Paying minimum dues on credit cards is enough.

Truth: Only paying minimum dues leads to interest accumulation and hurts your score over time. Always pay full dues whenever possible.


Myth 3: Closing old credit cards improves your score.

Truth: This shortens your credit history, which can reduce your score. Keep old cards active with small purchases.


Myth 4: A low credit score is permanent.

Truth: With expert help (like that from Lawfully Finance), even severely damaged scores can be repaired in a few months.


Myth 5: You must carry credit card debt to build credit.

Truth: Keeping zero balance and just using the card regularly builds good credit without debt.


Myth 6: Settling a loan is better than defaulting.

Truth: While better than defaulting, settlements are marked as “Settled,” which is still a negative remark. At Lawfully Finance, we help clients settle smartly with guaranteed NOC and removal of remarks whenever possible.


Myth 7: Paying off all debt increases your score immediately.

Truth: Scores update gradually and sometimes take 30–90 days to reflect changes. There’s no instant magic.


Myth 8: Income level affects credit score.

Truth: Credit scores only depend on repayment behaviour, not your salary or business income.


Myth 9: One missed EMI won’t harm your score.

Truth: Even a single 30-day late payment can cause a drop of 50–100 points in your score.


Myth 10: All debt relief platforms are the same.

Truth: Most platforms charge high commission, don’t offer legal support, and don’t help repair CIBIL after settlement.
👉 Lawfully Finance provides a full 360° solution with NOC assistance, legal draft replies, credit rebuilding, and more.


Myth 11: You can’t improve your score without taking a loan.

Truth: You can improve it using secured FD credit cards, credit builder tools, and smart EMI purchases—even without big loans.


Myth 12: CIBIL score is the only score that matters.

Truth: There are 4 credit bureaus in India—CIBIL, Equifax, Experian, and CRIF Highmark. Lenders may check any of them.


Myth 13: If my loan is in dispute, I can ignore recovery calls.

Truth: Ignoring can worsen the situation. With Lawfully Finance, you can handle recovery agents legally and safely.


Myth 14: Loans from BNPL apps don’t affect credit.

Truth: Most Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) apps now report to credit bureaus. Missed payments damage your score.


Myth 15: You can’t repair your score after an account freeze.

Truth: With the right legal and financial strategy, your score can be rebuilt, even after account freezing or lawsuit threats.
