Buying good credit with trade lines purchasing

By J. Ochs

Can you buy a higher credit score by purchasing seasoned trade-lines? This question seems to come up more and more these days. The answer to this is a bit complicated, so let me see if I can give a simple easy to understand answer.

The goal of purchasing seasoned tradelines for your own credit reports is to gain points in your credit scores. To purchase a seasoned tradeline, you must pay a monthly fee to get your name added as an authorized user to the account that is seasoned and in good standing. Once your name has been added to the account, it will report on your credit report.

Pro reasons to buying seasoned tradelines: It's often a successful process for consumers with positive credit just needing a little boost in scores to be approved for a loan, for financing, etc. The needed accounts stay on consumer's reports just long enough to benefit scores and once they are no longer needed, payments are stopped and the seasoned accounts will be removed from reports.

Cons of paying for and adding seasoned trade-lines: There are several problems with using seasoned trade-lines that have now raised the brows of the credit bureaus as well as federal officials. Although there is nothing illegal about adding another person to your account, the biggest problem is in how these seasoned trade-lines are being sold. As I mentioned above, they are only appropriate for someone with already good clean credit, yet there are hundreds of companies on the Internet selling trade-lines as a method of credit repair. Buying seasoned trade-line when you have derogatory trade-lines on your credit will do little to nothing to boost your credit. In fact, it is a ridiculous waste of your money. With the cost of these trade-lines ranging from several hundred to several thousand per month per trade-line, it is not an effective solution for 99% of those who seek them. The other issue is that there are now changes underway by the credit bureaus to not include authorized user accounts in the credit scoring model. This will completely negate the effectiveness of seasoned trade-lines altogether.

All things considered, it doesn't seem prudent to proceed with the purchasing of seasoned tradelines. More effective, less costly means are available to you if you're interested in improving your credit scores.
