how soon is too soon?

I have managed to get a couple of things off of my credit reports but how soon is too soon to pull my score?  I want to make sure I pull it after this things have been removed in order to get an accurate score.  Thank you

Re: how soon is too soon?

Tough question to answer.  Everything I have had taken off has been fairly quick (within 2 weeks).  However, each company has told me it could take 30 to 60 days.
 
I would think 30 or 45 days would be a safe bet.

Are you sure they are gone?  Do you use TC to see what is what?

No, I don't TC or belong to SW or anything like that, I've managed to get a couple of things off from disputing online with cras.  When things come off, I see an updated credit report.  I was wondering because I DV'd and GW'd a few people also.  I haven't heard anything but it has only been about 10 days since I sent out the letters.  I was just kinda curious because another poster told me that I might see a 100pt increase from getting one account in particular that I managed to get off but that too has been this month.

As soon as I got some items removed I pulled my score, and saw an increase.
