Credit file update on ending loan

I have paid final payment of my satsuma loan, they appear to update payments 2 months behind. Will the next update they provide show on file as closed?

Is there rules surrounding how payments etc are reported to credit agencies ?

    generally it takes 30-90 days to update. dependant on the cra and the company.

    it's the companies responsibility to update the credit agency

    There is an obligation to ensure any data they share is accurate.

    This however doesn't mean they have to update your data instantly. In general creditors do monthly updates for a given statement month, but the time of the month these are done doesn't tie in to your statement/payment dates

    As long as the payments were all made on time, the processing delays should have little impact short term and none long term, credit history wise
