How long credit repair actually takes

Think in 30-day cycles and 12-to-18-month arcs, not overnight jumps.

Each dispute round runs on a 30-day investigation clock, plus mailing time and the reporting lag before changes show on your file. That's the base unit: roughly 45 days per round. Straightforward inaccuracies can clear in one or two rounds; contested items take three or four with escalation in between.

Layered on top is the part nobody can speed up — the aging of accurate negative items and the building of new positive history. A realistic plan for a damaged file is 12 to 18 months of steady, documented work, with visible progress along the way rather than one dramatic jump.
