If you dispute it as paid with the bureaus it will take about 30 days. You might want to call the creditor and see if kindly asking them to submit an update to TU will get you anywhere. Explaining that it was never updated, and you risk losing a mortgage because of it. Let them know the receipt you have is simply not enough for the mortgage company.
Nope, can't do anything about it. Even though now it's paid in full once upon a time it became delinquent and became a negative account. Negative accounts stay on CRs for seven years, and it does not matter if in year #6 you paid it off. Why? To keep peoples' credit histories in the toilet. It's a conspiracy between creditors and the CRAs.
He needs it to show as paid. Of course that can happen--it's the correct information. And everything doesn't have to stay seven years. Many people have derogatory information removed every day.
