If you are making regular payments on your accounts to improve your credit<\/a>, you may wonder when this may end up showing on your credit report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your credit reports are updated when credit reporting agencies receive new information from your lender(s). This typically happens once every month<\/strong>, but in most cases, at least every 30-45 days<\/strong>.

If you\u2019ve made an effort to pay accounts on time and improve your credit record but it hasn’t been reflected in your credit profile yet, lenders may request the information to be updated on your credit profile.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
