Full File Disclosure from Credit Bureaus

Sorry if this question has been asked.   Do we get a full file disclosure when we pull our reports directly from the Big Three?   The reason I asked is because various industry experts maintain that information  that is removed due to  CRTP still remains at the bureau but is not included when we pull our reports

ChexSystems Consumer Score

I pull my ChexSystems report annually along wth my bureaus, and this year, thought I'd get my ChexSystems Consumer Score this year as well.  My ChexSystems report is clean, and my score came back as "9999"....it says that the score range is "000 - 999"  Either the report had a typo with an extra "9", or....well, I don't know.  Actually, don't really know how much, if any, stock to put into all of this.  Thoughts?

This site is a waste of $

What are we paying for here?!  I paid $30.00 for 2 of the 3 credit scores and a "glance" at derogatorys on my acct.  I now will have to contact the bureaus to get the real information needed to clean up my report.  In no way was this site helpfull to me.

What time of the month do most companies update info to the bureaus?

I recently bought an engagement ring from Jared's (yes, I went to Jared's) at the cost of $12,000.00.  After making two payments at $1,045 each, I paid the remaining balance about a week ago.  Along with that payoff, I paid off all credit balances.  However, upon running my credit report tonight, it knocks me for using a lot of my available revolving credit.  My score was 684 and 704 through Equifax and TransUnion.  I am used to them being around 760-780.  So, I am really disappointed.  To top it off, I am under contract for a new home and need to secure financing soon.  However, I want to wait until the payoffs show up on my credit reports, so I can qualify for potentially a better interest rate.  So, my question is how long should I wait to ensure that the bureaus have the most current information?  Would March 1st be ok or should I wait longer?    I would greatly appreciate any feedback!!
