Credit Information Reports
The data that CIBIL collects is used in creating credit information reports, also known as CIRs. These reports contain the basic borrower information (such as names, DOB's and addresses), past payment history, overdue amounts, records of all the credit facilities availed by the borrower, suit-filed status and number of inquiries made on that borrower, by different Members.
CIBIL hasn't been able to live up to its own claims and the expectations of its users / stake holders with regards to quality of reporting and improving ways to ensure correctness of information of individuals. Its reporting is marred by non updating of records / wrong reporting and scores of individuals suffering on account of inefficiencies of CIBIL

Famous quotes containing the words credit, information and/or reports:
“It is probable that the principal credit of miracles, visions, enchantments, and such extraordinary occurrences comes from the power of imagination, acting principally upon the minds of the common people, which are softer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
