Just have to wait. The credit card company usually updates the credit reporting agencies once a month. Call your credit card and ask them if they can tell you what day that is. Then it can take up to a month to show up on the credit report. Knowing what day they report is good, because if you want to buy a new computer but tomorrow is the day they report to the agencies, hold off on the computer 2 days, and you'll at least look good for that month's credit report. If you paid it and it's not showing up even after a month, I'd first call your credit card company (they're easier to get ahold of). If they can't help, you can try to correct it by contacting the 3 agencies: www.experian.com , www.transunion.com ,and www.equifax.com . But usually their dispute process takes a month or two, so you're probably better off just waiting it out.

How do you get creditor to correct wrong information on your credit report?
This hapenned to me in the past. I was registered with experian, I had no defaults on my credit report, however a loan company told me that I had a default on my credit report I then told them that I had checked my experian credit report and it was clean but they told me it was equifax where the bad report was logged on. I checked it and it was for a credit card I had never even heard of. Equifax investigated it and found out in a couple of days that I had nothing to do with it. This was in 2007 about when it was removed. its now 2011 I also found out recently that you can actually sue companies that put false information on your credit report.

Assuming that you properly listed the debt in your bankruptcy, the creditor should report the balance owed as zero and it should also correct your credit report to show that the debt was discharged in bankruptcy.

You should also write a dispute to the three credit reporters: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, and have them insert it in your report, i.e. "This debt was discharged in bankruptcy on _____ (date)."
