I recently checked my credit score on CRED. All of a sudden my score dropped to 500. When I cheked the details I found that this account doesn't belong to me. I don't know why this account is showing in my dashboard. Account holder's name, PAN card, Mail id, nothing belongs to me. This is a different person.

I only have credit cards and no default. Score was above 790. And I also checked my CIBIL. CIBIL is showing my personal account. But I don't know what happened to my experian.

What to do ? Please help.

I encountered a similar issue where another person’s name appears instead of mine, although the PAN card and address details are correct.

Please email info@cibil.com with your name and PAN number, explaining that the name on the report is incorrect. Additionally, some of my credit card and loan accounts are mistakenly linked with another person’s accounts.

Kindly update the records to reflect the correct name.

Raise dispute highlighting the accounts with Experian via website or on mobile and they will resolve in your favour if by mistakengly added in your credit report by their system.
I have also faced the same,Raised the dispute and within a month got resolution in favour.
 
If possible can anyone please teach me on how it is possible to have a credit utilisation of more than 100%?

I mean we can't use a credit card above it's CL it declines (I guess) right?
 
Is it cred bug (whole report is not yours) or Experian issue (one account in report is not yours) ? @SSV suggestion is best to confirm this by downloading directly from Experian.

If it is Cred bug, feel free to take them on twitter for leaking other people data. 😁

You can go above credit limit. You will be charged a lot.
 
Same thing happened to me aswell, generate a report from experian's site, then contact their customer support via email stating someone else's details were being displayed in your report, also attach the report generated on their website..
They'll update your report within 7 days

Can you please provide me an example if you don't mind?
Like if I have an ICICI card with 10k limit and use it beyond what will happen?
By default you won't be able to use it above your credit limit (i e. 10k in this scenario), but if you enable the over limit option (to use your cc above your credit limit) you'll be able to use it altho there are extra charges to avail that facility and your credit score will also take a drastic hit
 
Update : Thanks to your suggestions, I checked the report form EXPERIAN directly. Thankfully everything is fine there. Thanks a lot guys for the help. But I don't understand how can I receive someone else's OTP. When i clicked on the report it redirected me to experian website and then it asked for the OTP. And then it showed me SOMEONE else's profile to lodge the complaint.

Then it is CRED’s wrong mapping .. complain to CRED via twitter/ app , if you want to further pursue the matter.. they will fix it in CRED...

All the best
