Yes. Credit bureaus need to be informed about the payment history. Generally, when you pay your debt, the lender or credit card company reports the same to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus then update your credit score and report. If a lender has failed to report your repayment status, it will be reflected in your credit score. In such a case talk to the lender directly and ask them to update the debt repayment status to the credit bureau. Or else, raise a dispute with the credit bureau and wait for the resolution to happen.
