No, no, no no and err no.
They don't often get reported until they fall into default.
Why would it help a credit file if the whole purpose is to help those who are unable to support themselves from one month to the next?
Why would you want to pay a large chunk of your own money just to improve a credit score? You can do this quite easily without taking on debt.0 -
Your post has been repored for abuse and offensive language.
Temper, temper..............
Did you actually take offence to what he said?
His post made a valid point and one that needs to be made more often to people that just come her to poke fun and mock people that aren't as aware about finance as them.
Fair enough, you don't need to use censored swear words, but I find it hard to see how someone would take offense to the post. Wish I could un-report0 -

The poster could have worded his anger better, it was the wording and content of the post. I did take offence at that and the c word, censored or not. We all know what it was. Forum rules are there for a reason.
Absolutely no need for it.

No need for ronson to chuck his toys out of the pram is there.
In fact dealer wins has a point0 -
If the best way to get someone to take your point on board is to belittle/mock/partonise, then I'd see the point in the post.
Unfortunately most people will just ignore anything that they feel is attack on them.
Posting what could be argeud as valid advice in a post that has a pop at someone will never get taken on board.
@McKneff - didn't meen to come across quite so shouty, just didn't think it needed reporting, i do take your point abouit the rules being there for a reason though.
I think we can all agree on one thing though, the OP shouldn't get his wife to take out a pay day to make their credit score better0 -
Did I miss being called a cu next Tuesday.
Almost as outrageous as a payday loans APR!!!0 -
I despair, I really despair.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Pay day loans will destroy your credit rating not improve it.
That is all I have to say on this thread.0 -
Payday loans that are paid in full after a month will make little difference to your credit score.
Your credit score though, makes up only a small part of a lender's decision on whether to offer you credit, some of them won't even look at the number.
How you manage your accounts is more important.
If you've got 3 credit card accounts on your file, all with high limits and balances of £0 outstanding, and you apply for another credit card, they may view you as unlikely to to make them money and not lend.0 -
