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:
“There is nothing less to our credit than our neglect of the foreigner and his children, unless it be the arrogance most of us betray when we set out to “americanize” him.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
