How to Report Rent Payments to Credit Bureaus

This type of reporting is the leading form of so-called alternative credit data. For many people, rent payments are their biggest expense. How to access this bonus? How to report rent payments to credit bureaus?

Here’s the first thing to know: You can’t do it on your own. This is why less than 1% of Americans see their positive rental payment history in their credit files.

The major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – don’t accept data on creditworthiness from just anyone. Take credit cards, for example. The only entity that can tell the credit bureaus how responsibly you are using your credit card is the financial institution that issued the card. Why are only they allowed? Because the bureaus have vetted the bank, and confirmed that they are credible and trustworthy.

This same principle applies to rent payments. Only a certified data furnisher can report rent payments to credit bureaus.
