Ok so DCU and CAFCU update at the months end every month regardless of payment date 

I paid off a loan and credit card with DCU before the 31st last month 

 

And Im saying last month in March DCU updated on the 10th for Feb payment 

and CAFCU updated on the 5th I believe if that is what I said in the last post 

regardless accounts were updated early in the month and not towards the middle.  

Experian has it out for me I tell you its personal this is not the first time this has happened and its 

only when I pay certain accounts to zero this is important as I'm trying to get my secured card with SDFCU 

Graduated and I need these accounts to show 0 balance super frustrating 

 


Where I am getting confused is that you say you have these accounts that update at the month's end, but then you are also saying that they update on the 5th and on the 10th. It's one or the other. I am not in any way trying to be patronizing by asking these repeated questions, please know that, I am just trying to gain an understanding of the whole picture. Most lenders send an update of your balance to the bureaus on your statement cut date. There are a select few that update at a set time (example: US Bank updates the last business day of the month.) Here is what I am looking for specifically:

The "Balance updated" date is the date that your account reports to the bureaus each month. It will be reported to all 3 bureaus on that date. If your account has a set cycle date (example: Discover) then it will update on that exact date every month. If your account has a floating cycle date (example: Capital One) it may vary by a day, depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in that specific billing cycle. Even though your lender reports the data to all 3 bureaus on the same date, the 'big 3' may complete the update of their data base within a few days difference of each other. Furthermore, what you see can also be skewed by the interface you are using and when it updated. Since you already verified to me earlier that yours was updated as of today, we know that is not the case and therefore can eliminate that from the equation. When you look at the "Balance updated" date on DCU and CAFCU, what are the dates that it is showing you?

 

If you look at my Capital One account, the one that has the missed payments, you can see that it should already be updated and it has not yet. Cap1 has floating cycle dates, therefore since it updated on 3/9 last month and April has 30 days vs. March having 31, my statement cut on the 8th this month. Even though that statement was already reported by Cap1 to EX, and my EX report is current as of today, they have not updated it with the most recent information. I am not sweating it however, because this is just typical behavior and should be showing April's statement within another day or two. If EX updates the balance for me to view tomorrow, 4/13, it will still show "Balance updated Apr 8th 2021" because that is the date that Cap1 reported it to EX.

Both DCU and CAFCU update on the experian reports as of today showing last reporting as of 02.28.21 

last month they updated 02.28.21 on March 4th and March 10th but now in April after I paid off these accounts nothing 

and its almost a week later total BS by Experian

That's good info, and thank you! Lets leave the extra thoughts about EX out of the conversation, as they are certainly not relevant in any way. Smiley Happy They do nothing except distract from any real progress we're making here, and I think we're making progress! So from what you are saying, I understand it as DCU and CAFCU reprort on the 28th of the month. It sounds like you were able to see updated EX reports that were generated on 3/4, and 3/10. If you were in fact viewing a snapshot of your EX report from those two dates in particular, the most recent update that was sent to EX from DCU and CAFCU was still sent on 2/28. They did not send another update to EX until 3/28, which should be what you are seeing now. You said that "now in April after I paid off these accounts" and "its almost a week later." If you did not pay off your debts until April, then what you are seeing on your report is not showing that payoff. Anything you paid off in April will not be reported until 4/28, and it sounds like when you can actually expect it to show up on EX's website is about a week later. Sometimes it be like that...

Excellent explanations @Ficoproblems247 . 👍🏻👍🏻


OP, one thing I didn't see mentioned in the thread is the possibility of off-cycle reporting. Some lenders will send an updated reporting to the bureaus upon request on a date other than their normal report date (Discover is one such lender). You could contact them and ask if this is something they'd be willing to do, and if so, you'd see your updates and increased scores sooner.

Re: This is why I hate Credit

Close..............they update on the end of every month the last month updated was 02.28 so the next update will be 03.31 which has not happened yet for what reason I don't know why.  And bills were paid well before 03.31 regardless they have reported to TU and EQ as zero balance already so its only EX that is holding up the progress right now
