Tips to Build Up Your Credit

Experian, one of the major credit reporting agencies is helping you out!

Rental payment history is now part of the credit report, helping out college students and immigrants who otherwise might have a tough time with their credit history.

Experian took over RentBureau which is a rental-payment history data unit.  There are some limitations, currently only 8 million people have been entered into RentBureau in the US.  Additionally, small landlords will not be rushing to pay Experian to be on this credit report so it will include only large complexes.

At the end of the day, we can only hope that it will help out college students, new graduates, etc.  So if you are looking to build up your credit and get your piece of San Diego real estate, be sure and check to see if your rental is reported to Experian.
