When you refinance your auto loan, does the old finance company show your debt as paid in full?

I am curious as to how a refi is reported to the credit bureaus.

Judgements on credit reports how long are they reported how do you get them removed?

I have a credit card judgment on my credit report filed 2001. Do the same rules apply for judgement as debt reporting on the credit report therefore it should be removed 7 years from the date filed. BTW- I haven’t paid this judgment. Also have heard mixed things in terms of who to contact to have judgment removed. Should I first go to the credit bureaus for them to verify or should I go to the law collection agency?
Thanks

Why does my 0 balance credit card still show up as there still being a balance on my credit reports?

I paid off a credit card a couple weeks ago and i’m currently watching my credit scores from all 3 credit bureaus…and all 3 are showing this particular card as still having a balance. So since it’s only been 2 wks since i’ve paid the balance in full, am i just not allowing enough time for them to report the 0 balance?

How often does Household Bank reports to credit bureaus?

I recently got a Household Bank credit card in order to help build up my credit score. I have only used the card for small purchases and have paid off the balances for 2 months (the amount of time I’ve had the card) but no payments have shown up on my credit report as of yet. I was under the impression that Household Bank reported to the credit bureaus every month. Does anyone know when the payments might show up?

Is there a general fico score “table” lenders use to decipher interest rates for auto loans/leases?

I’ve requested the credit bureaus to remove/fix parts of my credit report so that hopefully my fico will go up. I want to get my fico as high as i can before applying for a car loan/lease. I usually put less than10k miles on my vehicles per year. I own a 2001 toyota mr2 with less than 40k miles. I plan on selling it and putting the money down on a purchase if i don’t qualify for a lease.

How can I remove paid collection items from my Credit Reports?

There are several items on my credit report that were in collections but I paid them. They also indicate that they were paid in full/closed on my credit reports. However, If I mail receipts of these paid collection items to the 3 credit bureaus can I ask them to remove that collection information? Would they be able to delete that information since the account was paid?

I was told that since they were paid that they were void anyway. However, I would like to have them removed. What if I dispute them? Can you dispute paid items on your report for removal?

Thanks in advance
