Perfect for any credit card company or bank:

"Hi, I'm [Name], and I need your quick help. I'm in the process of a loan application, and I just made a significant payment on my account ending in [1234]. I need this updated on my credit report ASAP. Could you help me with an off-cycle update?"

If They Hesitate

Smooth and professional:

"I understand this is a special request, but I know Chase updates in 48 hours and Amex in 5 days. As a valued customer, I'm hoping you can provide similar service. My loan terms really depend on this update."

What's the difference between a credit freeze and a credit lock on Experian?
