I finally got a tradeline to stick after 3 months of nothing
I've been trying to get my credit score up to qualify for a rental in Austin, but kept getting denied because of a thin file. After reading some posts here, I added my rent payments through a service that reports to the bureaus and it boosted me 38 points in 60 days. Has anyone else had luck with rent reporting versus getting a secured card first?

Why would you want to report rent when it can tank your score if you miss a payment?

Peaked at 38 points and immediately started paying my rent in cash so I couldn't accidentally miss a payment and lose all that progress. Living dangerously out here.
