Quick Answer

Positive tradelines are Indispensable!

Positive tradelines, particularly unsecured revolving lines of credit like traditional credit cards, are indispensable because they form the most crucial part of a credit profile. While removing negative items helps, revolving debt demonstrates an individual's ability to maintain long-lasting relationships with creditors and proves responsibility over time. Adding a credit card to a report yields immediate positive results that strengthen with duration, as longer relationships lead to higher scores. Even for those with bad credit, secured credit lines are reported to all three bureaus, offering an identical effect to unsecured accounts, thus providing a legal method to build revolving debt and establish creditworthiness.

What You'll Learn:

  • Unsecured revolving credit is the most important credit profile piece.
  • Revolving debt proves responsibility and long-term creditor relationships.
  • Credit cards show immediate results; longer relationships boost scores.
  • Secured credit lines build revolving debt, proving creditworthiness.

    Most individuals seeking better credit, as well as agencies that claim to repair credit, concentrate on getting rid of the negative items on their report.  While this does increase credit scores, it is important to note that unsecured revolving lines of credit, such as a department store or traditional credit card is the most important piece of the credit profile.   “Revolving debt illustrates an ability to maintain a long lasting relationship with creditors and proves responsibility over time,” says Steven Fried of the Urban Institute of Finance.   Adding a credit card onto a credit report will show immediate results and the positive effect will only grow stronger with time.  The longer the relationship, the higher the score!  Until recently, someone with bad credit could not get these all important credit card accounts.   Secured credit lines are reported to all three (3) credit bureaus.  Their effect is identical  to that of an unsecured American Express or MasterCard account.  It is a legal way to built revolving debt and prove that you are credit worthy.
