Do you have plans to come back to the US anytime soon? If not, then why are you so worried about your credit scores here?
I still have difficulty in opening up credit card from mostly big bank here in Hong Kong. They run my credit report before issue me any credit card. That's why it is a problem, are you an adviser on that? do you provide credit repair services?
We don't provide credit repair services, although the Creditnet community does provide as much free advice as we possibly can! I've spent time living in China and I wasn't aware that US credit reports were used at all, even in HK. Stay away from the big international lenders/banks, and you probably won't have the same problems.
