Credit Card reporting

I have 2 secured cards which, since becoming a member here, try very hard to keep the balances very low. Can anyone shed some light as to when the CC companies report to the CRA's?  I have heard its usually around the end of the month but I'm sure I can find the real answer out here

You need to call into each creditor and ask for the statement closing date.

Re: Credit Card reporting

Most credit card companies report to the bureaus within a few days after your statement cuts.
