Credit Score Help

Options
Hello,


I currently have a sky account in my name but the direct debit comes out of my partners account, will this help his credit score or mine, the account holder?


Thanks in advance

    Firstly the score is irrelevant, but your credit rating would be helped by this provided that the payments are made on time

    There's no benefit at all. Only a negative if the account isn't paid which would be reflected on you. As the contract holder.

    Far as I know, paying my SKY bill has never shown up on any of the credit ref.files & I've checked lately!
