Karma Update

Not that i should even care about this, however its bothering me. Recently got two collections removed and it does not reflect on Credit Karma. Is there a way to contact Credit Karma to update my profile?

Re: Karma Update

Credit Karma should update every 7 days from Equifax and TransUnion

Re: Karma Update

Credit karma only reports your score to you and has no influence over what is attached to your credit file.  You would need to contact the company's you paid off.  It is up to them to report to the bureau, which credit karma pulls from. Companies are not required to report to the bureau in any specific time frame.

It took 6 weeks for PRA to disappear.

They actually don't have to report at all.

This is true, but given the fact they have, and now the account is is technically reporting an inaccuracy it could be disputed.  Given the fact they have 30 days to respond and would probably just be annoying them at this point I would not suggest taking that course of action.

I didn't dispute, not because it would be annoying them, but because I don't know how their system works. Knowing my luck, I would dispute and it would come back correct, hitting me for a fresh collection, then a week later disappear. My plan was to have my attorney threaten them for violating the fdcpa and fcra to force them to speed it up, but they got it removed days before I notified him.
