If you do it today, it will be reported on your credit report for February. When you say up to date...are you referring to being over 30 days past due?


linkstar
It would take no longer than 30 days because companies report things every 30 days. Your score would go up within 30 days and would continue to go up as long as you don't incur anymore debt.

For you score to go up you have to keep making on time payments. Catching up with debt will only stop your score from going down.

It should show within a month that you paid. This will cause your score to increase some. However, if you did not pay on time, this will continue appear on your credit report for seven years and will hurt your score during that time.


help
1 month and ur scorewouldnt goo up a hole lot it might not even goo up cos creditors manipulate ur credit score by seeing your history on a long run not like if u just pay it all and u also have 2 pay interest rate for ur cedit 2 goo up

May be, May be not YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF 3 AGENCIES, WHO CONTROL THE FATE OF AVERAGE AMERICANS..
It is a BIG SCAM-- AND A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
Just look at the LATE CHARGES THEY SLAP YOU WITH , WITH JUST ONE LATE PAYMENT.
So , I think it may take awhile, before they clear you,how long nobody knows
Good Luck

It should show on your credit report that you are up to date by around 30 days. Most creditors send your credit information to agency every 30 days, but some take longer. As for your score to go up... it takes a lot longer for it to go up then for it to go down. So it may take a while before you start seeing results of it going up. If you are looking to get another loan somewhere and something is still showing outstanding, just go to the place where you got the loan and they can write a letter stating that it is paid off or current.

I recently hit the lotto (fluke) for a small amount (2k) and paid off my entire credit card debt for one card....it took about 45 days for the card company to take notice....they raised my limit 3k higher (without me even asking for an increase) , shortly after that, the offers starting stacking up in my mailbox...so I can only assume the the score increased- so put my guess down for 45 days


Hiro
Ditto what everyone else has said about reporting - 30 days depending on the timing of the payments (If you pay it the day after they report it you'll miss the cycle).

You're score going up depends on other factors though. If everything else on your report was clean (no delinquencies, collections etc) you should see in increase in score pretty quickly. But if you've had delinquencies you'll just have to wait for them to age. Farther away you get the better it is. For minor delinquenies it could take 3-6 months. (They stay on your report a lot longer but they'll stop affecting the score after about 6 months) Major delinquencies will take a lot longer.
