Imagine if you can get some good number of points added to your total score if your present one is poor or just not good enough to get you some financial aid you might want to get anytime soon.
Sure, why not? Before you make any move of talking to someone about registering you on their card as an additional holder, find out if that person has a good history of usage on the card, else you might worsen an already bad situation if such person has been extravagant with his/her card lately.
The other new rule to this is that the person has to be a close family member preferably with the same last name and address as you for you to get the maximum effect from this technique.
When you've found this out, take one more step to discuss with the person, preferably someone really close to you like a relative or close friend of the family.
You should notify the person of your need to be signed on just as an additional card-user without the benefit of actually using it.
Let the person know that all you need is just the good information that will also be entered into your own report just as it is being reported to his/her own file too.
In any case, you should also resolve to keep expenses on your own card below 20 percent maximum.
What this means is that you will not be spending more than 20 percent of your total limit so that you don't end up getting the credit bureaus to scrape up points from your total.
Let's imagine that the total allowed you is $20,000.
By sticking to the 20 percent maximum rule, it means that you will not be spending more than $4,000 per month.
But it doesn't end there, else you might be taking one step forward and two backwards.
Always make sure that you make your payments before the due date so that you don't end up pulling late payments or missed payments which will again cause damage.
You can start making a change on your file by signing up with a repair agency or get a restoration kit yourself and do it!
