How often a credit scores updated?

Jen M asked:


Our mortgage broker gave us some advice to raise our credit score quickly. Action number 1 was to prove we were never late on an account that has been reported as a 30 day late in October of 2006. We received proof from the lender, who apologized and said they would notify the credit bureaus (we are also sending in documentation with a dispute), Action number 2 was to obtain a secured credit card, which we mailed in the application and money order yesterday, and the app said it would be 7-10 days before we receive our acceptance letter, Action number 3 was to negotiate with a collector to delete an account in exchange for full payment. We called the collection agency, and told them that we had no clue what this account could be for, but that we are willing to pay it in exchange for deletion, and they declined. After that, we pulled up our own copy of the Transunion report and it said that account is estimated to be deleted this month. So, my question is, are credit scores refigured after each action on a report, or is it once a week, or once a month based on all actions during that time period?

    Credit scores are not calculated until there is a need for it. Say you are looking to get preapproved for a mortgage, they bank will calculate your credit score. If you request your credit score they will calculate that then also.

    Andy has the correct answer. The agency that provides you the FICA score aren’t the credit bureau, its actually another company, located close by here in California, forgot the name that calculates it.

    So its instantaneous, right when you pull it.
