@RobynJ look at you! That's awesome! Keep up the great work!
What service are you using to monitor your scores?
Here's the screenshots of my experian and transunion reports with the collection account listed. You can see they state it will be removed on 04/2023 (EX) and 06/2023 (TU). Just curious how accurate these dates really are?
This collection account is from a capital one checking bank account that my first cousin opened in my name when he first arrived in America years ago on a visa. If it wasn't for that, I would've had a clean slate right now.
Quick question regarding credit card bill payments. Let's say I make a payment on my discover card the day before the statement cycle end date, will the statement reflect that payment made or will it still show the original balance since it takes a couple days for the bank to transfer the funds?

It depends on when they credit your payment.

Discover claims they post payments the same day if made before 5pm. I wonder if that means the statement balance will reflect this payment made or it won't because the funds haven't technically cleared. I'm not sure why discover doesn't allow instant debit card payments but they make us wait on bank transfers.
I got confirmation from discover that payments do reflect on your statement even if they are made on the same day of your statement end date so long as it's paid by 5pm eastern. I assumed that was the case but I wanted to be absolutely certain. However, your available credit on the card may not reflect right away until the following day or two. Also, if your statement end date lands on a weekend (like mine) then it automatically gets pushed until the following business day.
Oh and they don't accept debit card payments because of the fees associated with cards. Why am I not surprised? Lol
I got a notification from the experian app today saying changes were made to my report. They added my self credit builder account. But they also removed my collection account too. Is this normal? Is it possible they just simply forgot to update the account and it will pop back up next month? I don't know how to feel right now...

This will certainly increase your score.
My experian report as I posted the screenshot of a few comments above stated the account would be removed April 2023. You think they're giving people one year early exclusion? Maybe for the pandemic like they offered free weekly reports. Maybe this is another thing they decided to do to help Americans during these times get approved for credit?
I don't know how collection reporting works. Does the CA have to manually submit the account monthly to report it or is it automatically added to your report monthly for 7 years? I find this so strange and I feel it will come back. I hope I'm wrong tho.
