Question : How long does it take it when you do a cash advance or loan to appear in your credit report?
I am closing tomorrow on my first home. People, not the realtor told me that you should not do any cash advance or purchases with your credit card. You should also not do any loans because the banks pulls your credit report right before the closing and they don't like to see any purchases or loans. I was told today that I might have to pay something at the table tomorrow at closing. Just in case I wanted to take out 1000 from one of my credit cards in case it was more than what I have. Do you think If I do a cash advance or signature loan 2 hours before the closing that it will show up in my credit report? I've heard that the credit report does an update monthly not daily or hourly. Please let me know what you know =)Well, they know I had money in my savings because they verified that. I had $9k I gave $3k to for the contract and canceled it before the 15 days because I still wasnt approve and then I gave again $3k and did another contract and canceled again because I still wasnt approved and then now the last time $3k which is what they are returning back to me tomorrow at the closing. So, they should be aware that I have money and due to the delay in the approval I had to cancel and re-due the contract to hold the apt.

borrowing against credit to pay closing costs is abig NO NO. You could get the whole deal shot down.You should have made sure you had all the cash youneeded long before now. They will want to knowwhere the cash came from if they didn't see it inyour bank acct balance

Answer #4
your fine, if you take a cash advance off one ofyour credit cards it wont report usally until thenext billing period (30days) and most banks do notpull a new report before closing actually somebanks will go off of credit reports that are30,60,or even 90 days old, and depending on yourcredit card i would try to hold off on that cashadvance i know i have killer intrest rates forcash advances, so just make sure you absolutlyneed the money , good luck and congrats on the newhouse

Answer #5
it is not possible for a transaction to show up onyour credit report in 2 hours. some creditorstake up to 60-90 days to update although mostupdate on a 30 day cycle so it all depends whereyour transaction falls in that cycle. Yourmortgage loan rep should know by now how muchmoney you need for closing, add about $500 to thatand any difference will be refunded to you as soonas you are finished signing. Good Luck with thehouse!!

Answer #6
I believe you will be fine. If a lender pulls acredit report today, right now, only the accountinformation that will be updated will be thru theend of the last 30 day cycle or monthly will showup. Exception will be any inquires will show upright away. Please keep in mind that borrowers arenot permitted to use unsecured advances forpurposes of purchasing a home, so if an inquirydoes show (which normally credit card advances donot cause an inquiry unless you are asking for anincrease in credit limit) and the lender may askyou for a letter of explanation. They will belooking for you to say that there was no new debt.But if you say your taking a cash advance to closeon the home, then that will hold things up. Thatis just food for thought. Hope it helps
