What is the difference between mortgage and instalment?

Posted on: 15th Mar, 2007 01:01 pm
In my credit report under credit summary/ type of account I had one car under mortgage account and another car under instalment account.
May I know what is the difference between the two?
Mortgages are taken against the house, how a car is appearing under mortgage account?

Cesarvinzon,

Both the mortgage and car debts should have been reported under the installment account on your credit report. This is so because these debts are paid off installments.

It is better to contact the credit bureau and request for a clarification. If something is inaccurately mentioned in your credit report, it may affect your chances of qualifying for future loans.

Hi Cesarvinzon,

Welcome to the forum.

If you feel there is some incorrect information on your credit report or if you wish to clarify any statement given over there, you may send a letter to the bureau. You can mention in the letter that you wish to dispute certain items on the report.

You will get an idea on how to dispute errors in your credit report from community discussions at http://www.mortgagefit.com/credit-rating/about6260.html and http://www.mortgagefit.com/credit-rating/report-errors.html .

Feel free to clarify your doubts.

Thanks,
Jerry.
