i have two bills that i have paid off and one has been reported to the credit buare and the other has not and the checks have cleared my accounts. why have they not fixed it on my credit report yet?
The creditor or the collection agency may not have reported it to the bureau. Hence, you are unable to find that in your report. Normally, it takes 3 months for a credit report to be updated by the credit bureau. The time for updating the report depends on the individual credit reporting agencies. You will have to wait for some time before you can figure out the changes in your report.
Just like Justin said it takes time for it to show up on your report. I 'm going through almost the same thing. It's been almost a month and it is still not showing. Just hang in there.
