Could my score be updated on a weekend?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to purchase a car this weekend and needed a bump up on my credit score. The statement dates on each of the following cards that I've paid off the balance is today- FRIDAY 3/6 (Household Bank, BofA Visa, CitiAmex, and Capital One). When are they likey to report to the bureaus? Could I see an update on the weekend?

Doubtful... you could ask the creditors to report out of their normal reporting period. However, they generally won't unless you are buying a home and request a rapid rescore.

I'm having a hard time determining when their normal reporting periods are. Is it close to the statement closing date or are they on some other schedule?

With the exception of your HSBC, your other cards should be reporting around the same time as your statement. HSBC reports the balance you had on the last biz day of the month and will typically report that within 2 weeks (or whenever they feel like it).
