<B>Has anyone done this? Is it true, legal, etc?</b> ______________________________________________ Establish AAA Credit In 30 Days To work this plan you need at least $400 to begin. You should borrow this from your friends if necessary. Then go to a bank of your choice and deposit the $400 into a regular passbook savings account. Wait a few days for the account to be posted and return to the bank to ask for a $400 loan - you offer the passbook as collateral. Since the bank is already holding your $400, you go to another bank open a savings account lending you another $400 and they won't even make a credit check. Then, with your borrowed $400, you go to another bank, open a savings account, return a few days later, borrow $400 from that bank using your passbook as collateral. Then repeat the process at a third bank with your borrowed $400. Wait a few days to go to a fourth bank where you open this time a CHECKING account. Wait a few days and make a payment on each of the other three loans. A week later, make payments again on the three loans, and continue paying each week until you have almost paid off the balance. A credit investigation at this point will show you with three active bank loans (which are considered hard to get), a checking account, and a paying history for the three bank loans - with you having paid up in advance. Thus, you have AAA credit in as little as 30 days. From here you go on to apply for loans, credit cards, and other items on credit.

will this hurt if you are trying for a mortgage in a couple of months? HOw can you make sure the bank tells the CA of the account being paid. $1000 CD question? Can you cash it in with 30days with out penalties?
I wouldn'y do it if you are going for a mortgage anytime sooner than a year or so. This method will run your debt-income ratio up a bit and that will hurt your mortgage process somewhat.
I personally haven't done it...but you put $1,000 in BANK A...get a loan against it for $1,000 and take it to BANK B...open a $1,000 CD...get a loan for $1,000 and take it to BANK C----> The loan must be paid on time and <$1,000 doesn't help so people say, and it WON'T do any good if the BANK does not report the loan... LOAN TERM 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR...(NOT AN INSTANT HELP)...
