Thanks to Remember
Before you proceed with the account closure, there are a few things to remember:
- Make sure all your pending dues are cleared. Your account won’t be closed if there are outstanding payments.
- You should receive an NOC from your lending provider stating that your Flipkart Pay Later account is closed with no dues left. If you don’t receive it within 2-3 weeks of requesting account closure, follow up.
- Closing your account might lead to a temporary decrease in your credit score. Don’t be alarmed; it’s a normal part of the process.
- It may take 2-3 months for the ‘closure’ to reflect on your CIBIL profile. So, don’t be surprised if you see your Flipkart Pay Later loan as ‘active’ during this period.
- Even after your Flipkart Pay Later is closed, it will continue to appear on your CIBIL report as a ‘closed’ account for record-keeping purposes. Lenders like to see your credit history.
- If you haven’t used any credit cards before and were offered Flipkart Pay Later, consider keeping it active. The age of a credit line has a significant impact on your credit score. This could help you when you apply for a credit card or loan in the future.
As a responsible borrower, it’s wise to periodically check your Credit Information Bureau India Limited (CIBIL) report. It’s like your financial report card, and it’s always a good idea to be aware of your credit status. You can inspect your CIBIL report to ensure that your Flipkart Pay Later account is accurately represented. This gives you an overall view of your creditworthiness.
Go ahead and start the process to close your Flipkart Pay Later account if it’s the right decision for you. Your financial future awaits, and I’m here to help if you have any more questions or need guidance on other financial matters.
