I applied for a new BT card at the end of Feb and transferred the balance from MBNA to Tesco Bank on the 3/3/19.

I have checked all 3 CRA and the MBNA balance is still showing as the amount I transferred and obviously so is the Tesco one. How long should it take to go off my report.

Thank you

    I am confused by what you have typed. Are you saying that the Tesco and MBNA are both showing the same balances, when it should be showing as MBNA £0 and Tesco with a BT amount on it?

    If so, is MBNA on your card dashboard showing as £0? Maybe MBNA have not reported the change yet to the CRAs. Give it another month.

    Yes you are correct in what you say., they are both showing the same balance. Maybe I am to eager to get rid of the old info.

    All 3 CRAs, including 2 fresh updates today, are currently showing my MBNA balance as at 31 March but the actual balance amount was correct after the payment was taken on 25 March so possibly a couple of weeks to wait yet. It seems to be the LBG updates that are way behind - my Halifax card is the same - but my Tesco is at 12 May.
