    Usually around a month, could be anything from a couple of weeks up to a couple of months.

    Generally creditors up date once a month to the credit reference agencies but it would depend on when your payment was credited compared to what date they do their update/

    What does your credit file show? do you have defaults dated in 2010.

    Really you need to wait until your debts show as settled and then take a copy of your credit file to a independant mortgage broker so they can advise whether a subprime mortgage lender would consider lending to you considering the defaults and partial settlements etc. But you might find they consider that LTV high if you have defaults on file.
