I closed my card, but just looked at my last statement from a year ago as well as CB reports and they were updated the business day after the statement cut. There are exceptions, of course, but most lenders report to the CBs when the statement has cut. This is true for all of my non-CU cards.
Do not have "Merrick", however have found 3 (time/balances) that my Banks, and Credit Union send to Credit Bureaus.
1. Statement Balance 1 to 3 day's after statement cuts.
2. Statement Balance at end of month.
3. End of month Balance, at end of month. (Regardless of when you statement cuts)
