Is It Legal to Buy Authorized User Tradelines?
Buying and selling authorized user tradelines has become big
business in recent years. The way it works is that someone who is trying to
rebuild or establish his or her credit history buys the right to be an
authorized user on someone else’s credit card account. In the industry, these
accounts are called authorized user tradelines. Once a person is listed as an
authorized user, the account history for the authorized user tradeline will
appear on the credit reports of the authorized user. Assuming the credit card
account has a spotless repayment history and a low debt ratio, the credit score
of the person receiving that account will likely increase. However, is it
legal?
