Is there a credit history build up for a additional or secondary credit card holder?
Filed Under Credit History | 2 Comments
I am having a american express business credit card with my employer as a primary card holder, for the last six months. I use this credit card for the official purpose only. So my question is, am I making a credit history or not.

Welcome to today’s tip. Length of your credit file. More specifically, length of time accounts have been on your file. The concept is fairly simple. The longer an account has been on your file, the longer you’ve been managing your credit (hopefully wisely). That’s why you throw off red flags if you’re say 35yrs old with no credit. Eighteen, maybe a potential creditor can understand because they’re just starting out in life. But otherwise, you’re 35 and no credit, what have you been doing all this time.
OK, lets say for some strange reason you no or very little credit history, here’s a possible solution. Piggy Backing. This method helps to add accounts with years of payment histories to your credit file, thereby helping your credit score. Of course this assumes that the history you’ll be obtaining is a good history. Wouldn’t do much good in adding a history with multiple 30 days late payments. If you must use the account, be sure the delinquent marks are at least 18-24 months old. Anything less will hurt your score more.
This is how the technique works. Find someone , an Aunt, brother, etc., to add you to their account as an authorized user or secondary card holder. In order for this to work, the application must request your SSN#. If it doesn’t, then the history of that account may not transfer to your credit file. This is one of the strategies undercover law enforcement agencies use to make their agents’ records appear longer (in time) than they actually are.
One other thing to watch out for when doing this tactic. Make sure you’re not listed on the account as a ‘joint user’ or anything similar. The difference is major. An authorized user is allowed to use the card and gets the account history added to their file. A joint user has the same usage privileges, but is also responsible the debt. A creditor can attempt to collect from you if they are unable to collect from the original card holder. So be very careful.
Note this strategy may not be as effective for long, seems the fall out from the subprime real estate financing may cause this tactic to become less effective

The growing problem of identity theft has spawned a new industry aimed at keeping your credit information safe by “locking” your credit file. These companies typically charge a monthly fee for their services. One such company advertises that they will pay you 1 million dollars if your identity is stolen while you are an active user of their services. When you get behind all the advertising hype, the vital question is whether or not the monthly expenditure is worth it.
Making a request of the credit bureaus to lock your report does not mean your files will remain locked indefinitely. In theory a credit report lock or security freeze lasts indefinitely. In actuality, the lengths of security freezes vary from one state to another. In addition, credit bureaus require the consumer to “renew” the locks after a given period of time. Since there is no limit to number of renewals, one’s reports can be under a security arrangement for life… but only if the requests are renewed.
One myth surrounding this arrangement is that locking your credit report means the content is “frozen” at the moment in time when the security lock is put in place. This is totally untrue. The lock means access to your information by new sources is severely restricted, but new information still continues to be added. So if you increase your use of current accounts or make payments late, this information will still affect your credit scores.
Even during lock-up, your credit information is still available to those companies with whom you already have open accounts. Likewise the data remains available to employees of the credit bureaus, governmental officials, insurance companies and potential employers who have your permission. So, are there benefits in paying the fees required to place a security freeze on your credit report?
Locking your credit report prevents new accounts from being opened in your name without your knowledge and consent. In order to establish new credit, you must temporarily unlock your credit file through a specific procedure. In that way, the lock provides protection. With constant growth of credit identity theft, lock-up may be something you need. If you are likely to establish a number of new credit accounts in rapid succession, however, the cost and inconvenience of a security freeze may work to your disadvantage.
One cautionary note is in order. Putting a credit report lock-up in place is often oversold by companies profiting from implementing this service on your behalf. While locking your credit does have value, it answers a very small portion of the identity theft dilemma. There are other aspects of identity theft in addition to direct credit-related crime. One of the other dimensions of the problem is theft of benefits, an area called Medical Identity Theft. The impact of this kind of theft can be life-threatening as well as financially devastating.

A good credit history is an essential prerequisite for applying for a student loan. A student with a good credit history always stands in good stead to qualify himself for a student loan. So, it is always advisable that students who go for loans keep their credit within limits.
Many lenders provide loans to students with no credit history. There are two types of student loans namely, federal student loans and private student loans. The former are backed by the US government (coming under the department of education?s federal student aid programs) and are approved based on the financial need of the student, whereas the latter are considered as personal consumer loans. Refinancing of federal student loans is possible at far lower interest rates than private loans. Private student loans are approved after checking the credit history of a student or his parents.
Usually, a student loan with no credit history does not require any income or a co-signer. But this is sanctioned only for a small credit limit. To get larger credit limit, the help of a co-signer is essential. Before taking student loans with no credit history, compare the interest rates and the fees from different lenders. You can get student loans applying online also. The documents needed include proof of your identity, and your place of employment. It is better to look for loans based on your job history. It is advisable to have a thorough check on the terms and conditions of a student loan before signing the deal.

You’ve been slapped with a sub-prime credit rating. Is it the end of the world? Not at all.
People get sub-prime credit ratings for several reasons. A lot of the time, it isn’t your fault. One way this may occur is that you might get a blemished credit rating just because somebody at the credit bureau entered someone else’s wrong info by mistake. For example, if someone sharing your name defaulted on a loan, went bankrupt, or had some other type of financial hardship, that person’s information could have gotten into your credit report by mistake and should be taken out. These sorts of mistakes can be pricey, naturally, but they are still honest mistakes. And if they only occur sometimes, they should not negatively have an affect your credit report.
Why do Folk Have Bad Credit? Just as natural disasters are phenomena that humans can’t control, sub-prime credit is one of those things that you cannot control either – but only up to a certain extent. By this we mean that mistakes are committed by 3rd parties like in the examples we cited earlier. Many are a consequence of clerical error.
There are other reasons why individuals have poor credit : being fired the job – sadly, we reside in an era of downsizing. Companies are slashing their budgets and trimming down staff numbers. When you’re laid off unexpectedly, this can trigger off a string of events, some of which may have an affect your credit standing;
divorce is another well-liked reason for credit problems – credit advisers say that this is one of the commoner reasons for earning a blemished credit rating. When assets have to be divided up between hubby and better half and there are alimony and child support payments looming in the horizon, cash becomes scarce;
Finally, the one situation that many Americans finish up in and that can be evaded is just overspending on “frivolous” costs that they do not need. To try that, they “borrow” money from credit cards to live outside their means when it’s simply not obligatory. Increasingly, today, society lives on “plastic,” and many have two, three, four or more cards that they use at will to buy things on credit they could do without. When you read something that you believe is false or incorrect in the report, write a letter instantly and ask for evidence or suggest that the report be corrected right away. Whatever you are saying to the credit bureau should be executed in writing. Discipline in spending works in your favor – banks are more inclined to lending cash to individuals who exhibit prudence;
When you pay off card debt, you wish to pay the highest interest rate credit card off first. To do this, you must make the minimum payments on all of your other cards, and then apply the remainder of your cash to the highest interest rate Visa card you have. Do this each month until the top rate credit card is paid off, and then move on down to the subsequent highest interest rate credit card. credit card. Make minimum payments on all your other cards, and then take the balance of your allotment and put it all on the highest interest rate card card you have. This should occur comparatively quickly, as long as you practice discipline and diligence.
Finally, ensure you pay your debts punctually. Making mortgage, use, tax and other bill payments on time shows that you are diligent and careful in your purchasing practices and this could reflect definitely in your credit score. So if you have blemished credit, do not panic. Simply taking some care to pay bills on time and be careful in your expenditure, as well as keeping a careful watch on your credit reports from all three bureaus, will bring you back to good standing in very little time.

Can a Credit History Be Repaired?
Filed Under Credit History | Leave a Comment
It can be very frustrating when you want credit but you can’t access it because of your bad credit history. This is because almost all banking and mortgage institutions insist that your credit be free of blemishes before they consider you creditworthy; even the most lenient lender in the market has devised a way of qualifying past credit record appraisals from applicants. Therefore from the onset, the importance of a good credit record cannot be gainsaid. But if your credit report has blemishes don’t be nervous because there is a way your creditworthiness can be restored in a credit history repair process.
First, the most effective remedy to a bad credit history is to cover it with a better one. This can be done by demonstrating a paradigm shift from the way you used to handle credit matters to your creditors. This is because some creditors like credit unions and local credit banks once convinced of your changed credit status will most certainly update your improved credit record to the credit bureaus. You can even plead with them to make your revitalized payment history to a reporting agency in a kind of damage control mechanism.
Secondly, start reducing your debt by paying on time always, and in case you encounter cash flow complications which are hindering your prompt payment, liaise with your creditor and reschedule future payment, in short be proactive, that way, believe you me, your creditor cannot in any way report your delinquency because you have camouflaged it, this will go a long way in reclaiming you position as an organized, reliable and creditworthy debtor.
Thirdly, in order that your credit history be white-washed with another that is more acceptable to lenders and the public alike, you need to pay all balances and arrears which have been bloating your credit report, It is also advisable you include a convincing explanation of why you have been unable to repay in the past in the footnote, site several reasons in a candid manner and be persuasive, you can include things like instances of unemployment, catastrophic family occurrences like chronic illnesses to name but a few.

A common question among the credit industry for young adults is, “How do I find my first credit card when I have no credit history at all?” How am I supposed to build my credit, when I don’t even know where to start? Well, thankfully for the Internet, and credit card companies that are willing to give you a card with no credit history, let me show you how it can be done.
Start with a college card
The best way in my opinion, is to go the college credit card route. Companies like this find that college students are more responsible when they are headed to college. They also assume that a parent is more than likely to pay off bad debts, if a student defaults on their card. This is why they don’t mind lending to students. If you’re not a college student, don’t worry, I’ll have more tips for you.
Try a department card
If you’re not in college, head down to a retail shop like Old Navy, or Kohl’s, and apply for a department card. These cards will help your credit, and even if you don’t really shop there, go there once or twice a month, and make small purchases. The companies just want to see if you can pay off your bill on time. As long as you can do this, you will be set.
Try these two tips when it comes down to getting a card. You’ll find that you won’t want to waste your time applying for cards you can’t get. Instead, if you follow these routes, you’ll have an easier time getting your first card.

How do we report an unpaid civil judgement to the credit bureau?
Filed Under Credit Report | 1 Comment
We were awarded a civil judgement signed by a judge and filed with our local courts in Jackson County MO for $100,000. The defendant never paid this amount and we would like for this to show up on his credit report. I have been told unpaid civil judgements can be included in the personal section of a credit report but I am unable to find out how to get the credit bureaus to acknowledge this judgement and show it on his credit report. Can anyone tell me how to get this debt on his credit report?
