    Someone sent me some info on a company who sells back dated loans. I've read the info he sent me as well as looked at his new credit reports which show the new accounts as being 60 months old and paid off. The company claims that this is a legal loophole. They claim it's much like what Mortgage lenders do with no payments for the first 3 months and raise your score in the process so they can give you the loan to begin with. Before I charge my credit card for this service, I just wanted to know what anyone out there thinks about this?

    I'm not trying to sell anyone on the idea, although I do want to know what you all think about it. As for me, I've seen enough hard proof to be a believer. Also the company in question takes credit cards and we all know how easy it is to get a charge back from the bank. Anyway I'm going to give it a try on a small loan which wont cost me much and I'll let you know how it works out.

    Be warned:

    These places have been known to be scams.

    NEVER EVER give out your credit/bank account number without a Written contract that states specifically what they are going to do, and any guarantees of timeliness etc..

    Be smart guys!
