What are the different types of Ownership indicators that can appear on your credit report?


The Ownership indicator tells the Loan provider who is responsible for payments on that credit facility. There are 4 types of indicators that can appear on your CIBIL credit report:
1. Single: You are solely responsible for making payments on the account.
2. Joint: You and someone else bear joint responsibility for payments on these accounts. It is important to check your credit report periodically, because late dues on a Joint account are likely to affect your loan application, even if you are not the one paying off the loan.
3. Authorized User: This is used for add-on credit cards. It implies that you have an access to credit, but are not responsible for paying dues on that particular account.
4. Guarantor: A guarantor pledges to repay a loan on behalf of a third party who has taken a loan. Hence, he provides a guarantee to the loan provider, that he will honour the obligation, in case the principal applicant is unable to do so.
