I just said off two major credit cards. When will this information get posted to my Credit Report and when will this positively affect my credit score?

Usually the agencies will hear from the credit card within 30 days of the payment

The credit bureau will not hear of the updated info until the creditor reports to the bureau. Most creditors report in 3-4-6 month cycles so it won't happen till then.

Since the credit bureau is a for-profit business they charge for the creditors reporting or pulling info. The creditors don't send in reports continuously due to the expense.
