or it takes few days weeks? months until the credit berous main frame computers or credit file crawlers register the change and asign the new score?
soo anybody knows? the exact or aproximate times?
Credit card companies report your new balance to the credit beurous once a month. Once your credit card company makes their monthy report your score is immediately affected. I use creditmonitoring.citi.com to monitor my credit every month. Freecreditreport.com is also good because it is run by Experian, the most widely used credit reporting agency. Since you are so interested in your credit score I suggest you can one of these two services (if not both) and you can have a strong grasp of what your credit score is every month. If you pay off a significanty debt like 70% of the total amount of credit extended to you your credit score can jump by up to 100 points depending on the amount of credit extended to you. Never making a late payment is key as that will stick with you for a very long time.
I think the most important way to raise a score is to pay “as agreed”, which means on time. The ratio of credit available to you vs what you owe is a factor but even if you have zero balances, I believe it takes a while for the credit bureaus to adjust the score
