Major drop in credit score from 764 to 18 - need your help

Hey everyone,

Last year, my credit score was 764, but when I checked recently, it’s showing as 18😰. I’m confused about what could’ve caused this. I had two loans (a bike loan from 2017 and a mobile loan from 2019) that were fully paid off. I haven’t taken any new loans since then. I don’t have a credit card, and I haven’t even had a debit card in the last three years.

Could anyone help me understand why my score dropped so much? Will this affect me, and if so, how? And any tips on how to fix this would be great.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

28 years old guy with 10k salary???

28yr old with 10k salary?????

I'm 28yrs old with a failed career in VFX. Took wrong decision, made wrong calculations now today I'm going to give an interview as a fresher. I'll work for 10k at the age of 28.

I'm so ashamed of myself. I was never great in studies but was hardworking at work. No use. I'm no good. I hate me.

Need some career advice. Please tell me what should I do?

I love India

I am Thai, and I love India. The people from this country that I know are all kind-hearted. I admire how incredibly talented they are. This country just needs the right opportunities to shine and show the world. Even though there may be some negative sides, that's normal in every country. I even want to have Indian friends. Indian culture has influenced my country, and I love India.

Diwali night is always special. The night just sparkles with light and kids enjoy watching it. I saw the joy and happiness in many kids face this diwali while they were looking at the sky. Usually i don't notice this much but this diwali was special to me.and i also got this beautiful shot!

Which music streaming platform do you use to stream high rez lossless audio on your android device?

i dont know much about this stuff. But i just bought nothing earbuds (a) which supports LDAC.
i only had spotify family subscription in the past few years which only supports i think 320kbit/s 16bit 44.1kHz.
its my first ever good earbuds.
when i searched online i only find tidal which is not available in our country and if i use vpn to download the subscription is 12$ a month which is a lot for me.
2nd is apple music but i heard that it doesnot really support high quality on android as it compresses the high music quality or something. I dont really know if its true or not, or how it works.
3rd Amazon HD/UTRA HD unlimited is not also available in india to purchase
what app should i use?

I was followed by a guy for almost 30-40 mins straight

It's going to be kind of long, sorry, but okay, i never post anything on reddit and this is probably the first time I have, but I wanna talk about my experience in hopes that if some girl is ever in a similar situation she knows what she can do to help herself. Now, some context, I did not have my phone with me (super unusual for me as I always carry it with me everywhere) or any money on me. I had gone out for a casual ride especially because it's festive season and I wanted to get some fresh air away from home and see the hustle bustle of the city. I live in kind of a small town and everything is really closeby, I had planned I'd go back home in like 10 mins and omw home I noticed a guy on an activa, mid to late twenties was following me. But, just to make sure I took four lefts and made a U-turn to go back the way I was coming. He was still following me, he sped up when I did, slowed down when I did. So I went to a nearby temple and sat inside, i waited for around 5 mins and went outside, he was waiting there. Now I was on high alert. I have been in similar situations before, but I always had somebody with me and it was never this extreme. Now I tried speeding up and going in random alleys to try and lose him but he kept catching up to me. So I took a U-turn and confronted him. "Kuch chahiye kya aapko?" "Itne der se mujhe follow kar rahe ho" I was on my Activa and maintained a safe distance with my hand on the throttle. He just got defensive and said "mai aapko kuch bol thodi raha hu aapko kaha kuch bola maine" then i just said "toh aap koi dusre raaste se chale jao mere peeche mat aana" and sped tf up and left but that mf still followed me out to the main road, so I still didn't think going home was a good idea, I went back to the main road and decided to go to a super posh locality which is also close to an iskcon temple. And because many of my friends live there, I could've asked them for help. I thought confrontation would startle him and he would back off but it actually had the opposite effect. He now started driving parallel to me and started talking saying shit like "mujhe aap bohot acche lage" "baat toh karlo" "mai aapka peecha nahi chodhunga" and a lot more which didn't hear properly. I was trying my best to not look at him or listen to him and speed up but he wouldn't budge. At this point, I was actually scared which was unusual for me and that pissed me off, luckily around this time I had reached the isckon area and it was superrrrr crowded, i slowed down and screamed at him "mujhe aapse baat nahi karni!" "Mera peecha karna band karo!!" Loud enough for the passersby to hear and stop. He sped up and I took a U-turn on the wrong side and went into one of the alleyways of that locality. I was familiar with the area so i didn't have much trouble navigating. When I was sure I lost him I decided to go back to the main road while being as vigilant as possible and went straight home. Now, in a situation like this do not be afraid to be embarrassed or to scream. One more thing I feel like i could've done was just go around in circles in kind of a public road. Like back and forth constantly, he would've ultimately gotten sick of it and left but the safest and most viable option is to go in a public area and scream at the perv and NEVER GO HOME UNLESS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOONE IS FOLLOWING YOU. Be stern but also respectful as to not piss him off, we never know what these guys are capable of. Be safe and a veryyyy happy diwaliii!!

Quit smoking buddies!

Hello hello!

So I began vaping when I was in college. I’m 24 now and the last few days I can feel an odd heaviness in my chest. My lungs feel heavy and I’m taking this as a sign. It’s time to quit.

Is anybody else interested in quitting cigs/vapes? I’ve been heavily addicted for a while and it’s time. Nobody irl knows I do this.

Gaon ya Shehar?

18 m, Stooryyytimeeee first

Went to my village after legit months damn, thinking ki thoda break le leta hu from this drop year and to bounce back harder after Diwali.

Toh we stayed for just one night, and came back the next Eve, but I can vouch. The people who say "Have a living in a village after retirement, etc" Y'all are real ones

Imagine going to your khet khalihaan in the morning, with greenery all around, a tree in the intersections of the farms, ek durable khatia jispe tum lete hue ho ped ki chaon me, acchi si hawa chal rhi. (Though I didnt get a chance to experience this, but I can imagine it 😭)

Another one, I was practicing driving in the highway when dadi said ki "Falana ke hotel he side me rokbe" so I did. It's a standalone old house with a tree and sitting area around it and a small shop selling fried snacks on the highway. Gaon me Hotel bolna matlab samosa wagera milna.

Ig it was around 11 am, we sat, last ke 4 samose bache the, me and my cousin ate some, steel ki thaali me chane ki sabji aur samose (ahhhhhh maja aagya). And bhai ussi ghar ke side me legit tin ka shed hai jisme ek bhaiya saloon chala rhe the, like idk why I just went back to those 70s-80s era even though imma genz 😭. Papa used to tell me how things were in the village when he was my age, man they struggled a lot, sometimes I feel im too privileged to have all this and still not use it to the max potential.

Gaon ki life is peaceful yaar, yep there are ups and downs and it's pro and cons too. You gotta work for yourself and allat, but if you have cultivated enough resources for yourself and have a decent enough gaon ka ghar aur basic facilities, jo fulfilled type feel hota hoga!

Compared to city life, less to no space for walking, gandi sadke, non existent nature and many more things like constant pressure and stress about work phir comparisons and what not.

I'm not saying ki Shehar bura hai ya Gaon accha hai, dono ke pros and cons hai, kaafi chizein maine shehar me seekhi hai like certain mindset and thought process, jo ek gaon Wale ke liye bohot different ho skti hai since there's definitely more politics in rural areas.

Lemme know your thoughts fellas?

Tldr- Kaha rehna pasand karoge agar mauka mila toh? Shehar ya gaon?

Indian Parenting is what makes Indian Education awful.

TL;DR: title.

Just the other day I saw a post here where OP was heartbroken that their kid (who's currently 2 years old) did not get admission in nursery for next session. OP and everyone who shared sad sentiments over this issue, honestly, fuck you. The kid is fucking 2 years old. And OP said he was rejected coz he couldn't recognise vegetables or whatever yada yada then bro let him fucking grow?? You know what makes the Indian education system actually shit? The narcissistic all knowing self righteous parents. Only reason you want your kid in that nursery is coz other kids his age are there, you don't want them to miss out. Well congratulations u have a brain less developed than your baby.

Let.That.Kid.Grow.

He's not ready for nursery OP. Put him in some fucking play group and let him chill out with other kids. You're putting so much undue pressure on a child to GROW. If I ask you what makes the education system shit, all of you will have a million fucking reasons but not one of us will say we actively contribute in making it shit. We are the ones who associate school/colleges with personal dignity, we are the ones always obsessed over marks and we are the ones who are hell bent on putting our kids in school straight out the womb so they don't lose out in the imaginary race that we collectively hallucinate about on a daily basis.

I beg every single one of you to not have fucking kids if u can't let kids be kids. We owe our children a childhood, not a JEE coaching centre. Let them play, help them grow at their own pace. Love them more than you love societal norms.

Peace out.

P.S.- before anyone comes here trying to tell me how real or unreal the rat race is, I took a drop after 12th not for jee but for the fact that I simply wasn't ready for college. Today, I make 2 lakhs a month as a 23 year old. My father used to make 8k a month till I started earning. So it's not a privilege thing either. Sorry, my parents would be very disappointed to see me flexing about money but this country never takes anyone without money serious so I had to.

Lost my wallet (Contained Aadhar, PAN, DL and Voter ID)

Yesterday while travelling I got my wallet misplaced, It contained my original PAN, Aadhar card, DL, and Voter ID and some other Bank Debit cards and credit cards. I have blocked all the cards, & I am going to give an FIR first thing in the morning. Can someone please tell me should I be concerned about my documents being misused? I am kinda panicking.

Guys please cleanup after bursting crackers in the street

Saw two strays hurt (probably from crackers that went off under their feet). It happened to me during my walk as well but I was wearing slippers they were not.

Worse - A pup died. I didn't see any external wounds so I think it was because of toxins. He probably ate or licked something in the street. I feel so bad for not keeping him at my home yesterday.

All this because of people who burst crackers in the street and don't cleanup. So please be mindful and ask others to do the same as well.
