The technical term for adding companies to your credit report is call "adding tradelines." The best to add tradelines is to contact your creditor and request that your payment history be added to your credit report. Now there has been problems with this strategy in recent months because of the "authorize user system that added tradlines to individuals credit report that caused problems in the subprime mortgage market. The credit score system made adjustment to this strategy. An authorize user on your credit card will no long benefit from your good credit history. However, if you have a legitimate account that you are paying each month, promptly on time, why not have them added to your credit report. Usually companies are members of the credit bureau and are able to add reports automatically but if not, write them and all 3 credit bureaus along with the account information, company's name address, account number…requesting that your payment history be added. If a letter goes to both the creditor and credit bureau there is a chance that it will be added. There is a form that is used by the credit bureaus to add companies and this must be completed. It is not guaranteed that the items will be added to your account but it is well worth the try. The creditor must be willing to add your payment history and many don't have time to complete forms. I think that there is a sample letter in Phil Turner's Book called the Credit Bible regarding this matter. If not they will write a letter for you that can used.
