It's only been right at a month now, are you certain that the CA has reported again? If they have you may need to check the date that they report to the CRBs and the date they cashed your check (they could have overlapped).
I wouldn't wait too long or you may lose your leverage in the situation, but it really almost too quick to see the update.
No idea if they've reported again since the letter or not. I never paid them anything as the debt was not mine and they were not able to validate it.
Their letter states that the account has been closed by them and to be assured that it will be deleted from my CR and my CR will no longer reflect this info. The letter was dated Dec 23, so you think 31 days would be plenty of time for this to have been deleted.
