There are several reasons why an account may not show up on your credit report.
Not All Accounts Are Reported
Creditors are not required to report account information to credit bureaus. While many lenders do report, they may not report to all three major bureaus.
If you’re unsure whether an account should appear on your credit report, contact your creditor to confirm which bureaus they report to. This is also an important step if you are trying to build credit—verify reporting practices before opening a new account.
Timing of New Accounts
If you recently opened an account, it may take time to appear on your credit report. In many cases, creditors can take up to 60 days to begin reporting new account information.

Why doesn't my Capital One card show my balance and payments. You have I owe 0. I actually owe at least 289.00, and made my first payment way before due.
