All About Tradelines – Get the facts!

4:00 AM Alexis P. Jones, The Credit DIVA

In this article I share with you what are the true, real deal facts about Credit Tradelines. Many people may think they know what they are and perhaps have even "heard" about what they are and how they work.  In the line of work of any Credit Professional, this is a topic that will impact your clients success in one way or another. There are so-called outfits that claim they can enhance or augment an individuals credit file with these tools, but often do not adequately explain the facts in a way that is relationary and clear.  I went into my tool box and grabbed this article I had written sometime ago to help my coaching clients understand this tool and in my recent Real Estate teams conversations, we discuss why this still is an arsenal to help people legitimately and legally.  Here are some facts for you to know:

Q: What is a tradeline?
A: A tradeline is an account that has been established in your name is a tradeline.

Q: I heard they were illegal?
A: No, they are not illegal. What was most wide spread in the press and in the media was what was called “Seasoned” Tradelines. Seasoned tradelines are aged credit owned by someone else and your name is added to the account as an authorized user.

Q: How can tradelines help me?
A: Tradelines are an excellent way to speed up the re-building of the tarnished or limited credit history. The tradeline is original, but packs the same punch of the authorized user tradelines and is reported in your name with all three credit bureaus. (Experian, Transunion and Equifax)

Q: What’s an example of a tradeline?
A: Mortgage, Auto, Credit Cards, Computers, and Furniture payments, etc.

Q: How can they raise my credit scores?
A: Tradelines provide a perfect weapon for existing credit cards, installment loans, or even mortgage or auto loans that have had a negative impact on credit scores because of late pays, collections or high balances. The situation is simple, the lower the balances on existing credit commitments the lower the interest rates will be for new credit. High balances on credit cards and installment loans, means lower credit scores. Lower credit scores means HIGH INTEREST RATES!
