 How long does it take the Credit Repositories to update accounts after submission?

Once the Credit Repository has received your first batch of accounts, they will run extensive processes to verify the data which you have submitted. They may also request additional information from your company and may have you manually verify the data which was submitted.

Because of the time involved in this initial verification process, the first batch of accounts may not be updated for several weeks. Once the bureaus have approved your accounts, they will typically update the accounts within a thirty day period.

This process and time delay will vary between bureaus. Please contact your sales representative at the bureau for their policies.
