Disputes Resolution Process
Any discrepancy or erroneous information that appears in an MyReport can be disputed by the person or an entity who is the owner of that information. A dispute can be raised by using a Dispute Registration Form (DRF). Once the dispute is registered, CRIB will raise same against the lending institution who has reported such the data. The Compliance Officer of the relevant data reported institution solely responsible for resolving such disputes and the resolution/comments should be communicated through the Dispute Management Module of the Credit Information Management System. Upon receiving the resolution from the Compliance Officer of the relevant data reporting institution, CRIB will close the dispute.
