Woohoo! Another one down!

Paid off my Blackhorse loan this morning...:j :D Feeling sooo good about it. I have to send them a copy of my marriage certificate so they can update my credit report with the right details (they still had me under my maiden name!) but the account is settled and that's another debt gone! WOOOO!
Anyone know how long it takes for credit reports to be updated? We've paid off 4 debts in the past month and was wondering when our report will start healing? Not that we want more credit but it'd be nice to know we're reversing the damage! :rotfl:
Having a great start to December so far! :beer:

    Well done you're flying through your debt!! Don't forget to get a copy of your credit report and check that the accounts are being cancelled, you can get this free through experien. I think it takes about 6 months for your credit to repair but I don't know really.
