Tradelines

[PatrickMetro]

Has anyone considered adding people to a tradeline and getting paid a fee after they show up on the new report?    It would consider it would help people that want to get larger lines to get a quick add bump?

Patrick, We are glad you found us.  Welcome to CreditBoards.

 

For your information and in case you were not aware, it is illegal to sell tradelines.   It is also not ethical, and generally a horrifically bad idea.  We are also very cautious when we see posts of this type because of prior solicitation issues.

Hi,

i agree it is extremely dangerous and unethical, but is it actually illegal?  I ask out of curiosity since there is a popular financial independence blogger that touts this. If this is actually illegal maybe we should educate him?

ask the "seller" how they comply with federal and state regs on maintaining data hygiene and security.
