Jointly-held loans and accounts are reported to the credit bureaus for all borrowers equally.

We send electronic transmissions once each month. The credit bureau may not have received the updated information at the time you obtained a copy of your credit report.

Your credit report will show two accounts. One will reference an outstanding balance of $0.00 and the status of "transferred to another servicer". The other account will show the amount of the outstanding balance plus the name of the new loan service provider. Due to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the new servicer will not report mortgage, home equity or mobile home loan information to the credit bureaus until 60 days after the conversion.

Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), most negative information will stay on your credit report for a minimum of seven years.
