Now, This is the Ratio, that our Credit Score comes from and has an Impact on Gaining and Losing Credit Score in Points.

1. PAYMENT HISTORY-

This is the Most Important Factor, Now see the Parameter/Table

2022-06-30_28629


Now, You Can ADD THE POINTS - Eg-

1. If you have just recently paid like 0-4 months then add 15-25 Points.

2. If there is no delay in payment then add 85-95 Points

3. No Bankruptcy - Add 75-85 Points

Now, See even if you don't pay the bank/NBFC then also you will get a score but see the points gap,




2. DEBT BURDEN/CREDIT UTILIZATION-

Now, See if you don't have any burden then also point score will be less or even if you have heavy debt burden then marks will be deducted or less score. So, I will add 20-29% which is 145-155 points along with previous points.


3. LENGTH OF CREDIT HISTORY-

The most important thing look at the points in increasing order along with years,so better to keep our old products active.

Add No.of Months like which is the longest credit report product for you mine is in 12-23 months, so I will add 105-115 points with the previous one. (It can be seen in the cibil report or directly in OneScore App)


4.RECENT SEARCHES FOR CREDIT/CREDIT ENQUIRIES-

Now, See How Many Enquiries have you made in CIBIL in the Last 6 Months that also impact, Add this previous one.


5. TYPES OF CREDIT/MIXTURE OF CREDIT ACCOUNTS-

It is always healthy if you have a mixture of Loans like Credit Card, Personal loans, Home loans, etc. Now, see the table

NOW, ADD All those Five Things and final outcome would be your expected Credit Score,offcourse it would be not accurate but it's 90-95% Accurate.This Formula has been applied to 20 Different People and the Results were +/-20 Points are here and there.


Try and comment.
 
As per formula, zero utilisation is bad, but here it doesn't seem to be the case.
Yes I also experience the same, one of my card utilisation was 0% but then I used it for some transaction and it increased to 4% and then credit score decreased.
Friendly advice: If you continue to pay before the bill generation date (i.e. 0% utilization), then after a few months (2-3) the score will decrease anywhere in the range of 5 to 25.
Therefore, let there be some utilization reported to CICs. Let some of the bills get generated with non-zero due value, and pay after the bill generation date and before the due date.
A mix of zero and non-zero utilization being reported in alternate months would keep your credit score in the range of 790-805, if the current score lies near this range.
 
Finally reached the magic figure of 800 after staying around 780 for almost 3 years. No loans except some closed pay later accounts.

3 events in last month -

Current cibil utilisation says Zero for every card. It's taking March data and I cleared everything in March.

Last 6 months enquiry is 2.

Overall credit age 5+. But that card is closed actually. So, among active cards, it is lesser.

Not sure what triggered it. As per formula, zero utilisation is bad, but here it doesn't seem to be the case. Enquiries do seem to matter, as it is after long time that I have only 2 enquiries in 6 months.

Let's see if it stays or I come back to 780 next month, as utilisation is back to normal next month and hopefully no enquiry.
And it's dropped back to 785 with 1 enquiry and non zero utilisation in last month.
 
I have 15+ cards all with good limits. So, my utilisation is always within 1% only. Just last month (April), it was absolute zero, when cibil hit 800 mark. But when it became non zero in May (within 1%) it decreased to 785.
After 780 it doesn't matter
You have a great score. Don't worry. After some year it will stick to 800
 
I have around 51 enquiries in last 3 yrs is that fine? does it impact my CIBIL negatively?

usually how many enquiries
per month
per quarter
per year

are acceptable as per banks?

51 enquiries in 3 years is just too many. Normally 1 in 3 months should be okay.

There is no fixed rule about what is acceptable, but every hit will lower your score by a few points, calculated by the algorithm not manually
