I have been in the process of paying off debts on my credit report. I paid a debt off in Feb 2011, it is now April and this debt is still not showing as paid by the collector. When I called them, she told me, that they do not report for 60 days. I find this to be incorrect and a violation, but I am not sure. Most companys report within 30 days. Is there a law of a reporting timeframe for these companies? 60 Days seems insufficient for a reporting time frame, and this delay is causing issues with my potential mortgage. What are the laws for this?
