How long to wait before rechecking credit reports?

I am so impatient about finding out if any of the CAs or OCs that I have taken care of have been reported to update my credit reports!  How long should I wait before pulling my credit reports again?  I just want to know if I am making any progress!!! 

 

On another note, I received my RR back today from the DV I sent so I am hoping I will hear from them in the next few days.

Re: How long to wait before rechecking credit reports?

Scorewatch is a good option that comes with an additional credit report that you could use at any time and it will also update you on your equifax score changes. As far as transunion goes i usually check it on the 5th of the month if im expecting a change in score.

It's really tempting to check them every few days, isn't it?

I check MPM nearly everyday. I love watching the changes. My new hobby.

I am subscribed to ScoreWatch... lol  but I'm still going nuts waiting.  Patience is NOT one of my virtues!!  I guess I will wait a few more days... I doubt it would have changed too much at this point,.... the 2 were things that I paid the OC for and they were going to recall the debt from the CA's. 

 

It doesn't seem like my new secured cc will be reporting for another 45 days or so which stinks, I wish it would start reporting sooner!

You know...someone suggested this to me and I did this...I had forgotten about it already.  You could go online and start a dispute just so that you can see your CR. Don't finish the dispute...just use it to look at your most recent CR.

I know right...i use SW but im chomping at the bit to repull TU. I know that 4 disputes have been deleted, and 1 repo GW, but i have one more "dispute" that the 30 days will expire on friday...the creditor already told me they wouldnt respond, so its a guarantee. pulling now to see all the other changes' impact will just cost me another 20 bucks...since id be pulling again friday anyway...

I know, right?  I want to pull them often but I would rather save that money to put towards working on the other debt I have...  yet I sooooo want to know if anything is paying off!  LOL
