Also, my cibil credit report was accurate. I did not find any discrepancies. In CRIF HighMark report I had faced an issue where some of my father's credit history was clubbed with my credit history.

I had read somewhere that cibil report and dispute mechanism is not so good. I don't know about disputes but the report generation process is pretty smooth and fast.

This is problematic because we have to remember their IP addresses everytime we want to access these hosts. It is would be much simpler to remember and access the servers by their hostnames.
