As a full fledged member of the crappy-credit brigade, I like so many other was forced to utilize other family members for credit. The situation is that I had a family member lease a car in their name, I made all the payments. The lease was 36 months and I made all payments on time. My question is can I somehow have that payment history reflected on my credit reports. I sure this would give my lackluster FICO, Beacon a boost.
lwg8tr, I very much doubt you can get it added to your CR, but am not sure. What you could do to help your score is to get one of the family members, if they still want to be helpful, to add you as AU on a nice old high limit CC with no late pays. More than likely it will show up on your CR with the original open date and credit limit. This has worked for me.
