Should I close my paylaters

cardy

TF Ace
I have multiple beginner level credit cards. And two pay later, Amazon and Flipkart with limit 60k and 90k. Both of these are 3+years old account. CIBIL is 772. Credit history 4+years.

Should I close these paylaters or no problem in maintaining them.

I don't really use them now besides doing a small recharge or billpay.

What do you suggest?

You should get the BNPLs closed.
The CIBIL score may take a dip for some time post closure, but it would recover.
These aren't great type of credit/loan to have as part of one's credit history.
You could also search this forum to get more info on why.
 
Search the forum once. These are already discussed topics.

Immediately -- response to your thread title..

PS: Didn't read any posts in this thread..
 
One more question i don't know if it's silly or not. I have heard that credit mix is important. Do these play any important role in this?
My paylaters are showing one as personal loan and another consumer durable loan in two parts. I don't have any other loan.

Don't even think about that just close your eyes and close BNPLs
 
Yes you should close just like everyone said. Some reasons on top of my mind:
1. Less secure, also seeing scams more often on BNPL
2. would be marked as consumer / personal loan and might be a factor for getting loans
3. the hassle of follow up in case of any issues since there are many parties involved - bank / nbfc, facilitating app like amazon/flipkart and rarely has coordination between them
4. all this hassle not worth the cashback / offers

Personal loan is not the one they are referring to when they talk about credit mix importance.

Yes credit mix is important but that is a mix of secured like home loan and unsecured like cc etc. These consumer / personal loans won't fit that bill either

Keep Amazon PL and close Flipkart PL I would suggest. I personally don't agre with BNPL being negative in Credit Score, these are all hypothesis, so you can chose based on that. But in terms of benefits, Amazon PL is pretty convenient in making quick payments in need. Flipkart PL is not that good.

Yes Amazon pl is quite beneficial sometimes, but one thing which was bad is they have consumer loan split in 4:1 ratio between capfloat and Karur vysya bank and ended up with 2 entries in the report for many people. And closing them sometimes closed only the capfloat and needed followup from our side to KYB.

BTW like your caption :)

Ohh, that might be case to case. For me it reports as Capital Float Consumer Loan 100%

Without any 2nd thought.
Since you already have cards so no BNPL.
