It will depend on how often the creditor reports to the credit bureau(s). Even then, don't expect any stellar FICO numbers until payment **history** is established.

Depending on the length of the contract, it may only be reported as existing and then reported as satisfied when you pay it off. In those cases, potential creditors look at the origination date of the agreement and may assume that since there is no negative, you must be doing OK on keeping up your end of the deal.
