Hubby and I bought a house in late Sept 2008, and have refinanced to a lower rate in March 09. Neither mortgage company reported this mortgage! The first was CitiMortgage and then that was paid/closed when we refi'd to GMACMortgage. Why would they not report? And would my score increase or decrease with the new debt, and all on time payments?
Unfortunately they're not obligated to report to the bureaus. I'd call them to find out if it's standard practice for them to report or not. New debts typically show a temporary decrease in score but after a few months payments on time, it should boost your scores.
