If you've just signed up for credit boosting/ rent reporting, you may be excited about the changes ahead, and rightfully so!
​

Signing up for credit boosting is a great way to grow your credit using payments you already make, and while this is a good strategy, it will take time to take effect.
​
The first step of credit boosting creates a new tradeline on your credit report. The impact of this varies- for some people, this new tradeline will not have an impact on your credit score. For others, the addition of the new tradeline can have a positive or negative impact. This is dependent on the Account Age which is a considerable factor of all credit score activity.
​

No matter the direction of this first step, as you continue to pay your rent, all on-time payments will be recorded in your favor.
