Most of these answers are basic rebuilding concepts:

 

  • Fix the negatives by sending goodwill letters, requesting pay for delete, dispute any erroneous info on reports.
  • Have your relative be added as an authorized user to spotless credit card accounts.
  • Open a secured credit card or two.  Bank of America's secured card allows cardholder accounts to graduate to unsecured cards, so that's a foot in the door with them. There is also a credit union that softpulls for their secured cards.  I believe it's SDFCU?  Im not 100% on that

 


Many credit unions (my main one is alaska USA), offer secured cards without any pull.
