Possible to get settled credit card balance updated faster?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to get the balance updated faster for a credit card that was charged off, then settled for less than owed.

I paid two credit card settlements, both capital one, and was wondering if I could do anything to speed up the process of having my account balances updated to 0 on my credit reports?

Thanks!

Not really. When did this payoff occur?

I guess you could try disputing as incorrect balance, but only if it's been a significant amount of time since payoff. As Medic said, how long has it been? If it's only been a week or two, you have to wait at least another 4-6 weeks.

The second one was recent so I understand that not being updated yet.

The other was paid September 26. I’ve never paid a charge off before, these were my only negatives I’ve ever had(lost my job) so I’m not familiar with the process. I was hoping that it would be updated the next month when capital one reported to the bureaus.

Thanks for replying!

No problem, and yeah sometimes it may take up to 60, possibly even 90 days for things to update.
