When it comes to paying credit card bills, there is nothing that comes close to Cred. Be it auto repayments or reward points, Cred has revolutionised the way people pay their credit card bills.
That said, using a third party to pay your credit card bills increases the risk as you share critical personal information with any organisation other than your bank. Not only this, using a payment gateway to make payments could cause discrepancies as payments could get stuck in the payment gateway.Â
Although Cred offers a lot of security by using 256-bit encryption and complies with the PCI DSS standard, every organisation can be hacked, and being at the receiving end of such an attack can be catastrophic.
So if you think that the cons of using Cred outweigh the perks, you can delete your Cred account.
Before deleting your account on Cred, it is important to know that an account cannot be deleted if there are outstanding disputes or unresolved claims on your account or card.

How to deactivate your Cred account?
If you think you want to stop using Cred services temporarily, you can deactivate your account rather than deleting it. This will preserve all the data Cred has stored about you, and you can reactivate the account whenever you please.
To deactivate your account, you have to follow the steps mentioned above in the guide to delete Cred account. However, instead of asking the customer care executive to delete your account, you’d have to request them to deactivate your account.
How to reactivate your Cred account?
If you have a deactivated Cred account, you can reactivate it by sending an email to support@cred.club. You can put in a similar request for deactivating or deleting Cred account, albeit with a modified subject line.
