No Luck with GE Authorized Users

Options

‎10-14-2012 12:06 PM

I can't get any of my GE accounts to add my brother or my mom to the CRA's.  We've waited many, many, MANY months.

 

Though they sure add me to DH and him to me if we ask.

 

Brother uses our address for mail and my maiden name is on my reports, both his and my mom's last name.  Any Advice??? I want to help them.

Yes, I do know that.

I'm asking if anyone knows any way to force this to happen? Because GE says they DO report AU's.

They do report. I'm guessing they have to live in the same household as the primary account holder. I added my fiancee to my Walmart card and they reported within a week of me adding her as an authorized user.

+1 to scope

GE cards afaik only ask for the name. They then look up the person based on their name and YOUR address. If they have a different address chances are they wont report. You could call up and ask them but i dont know if they'll do it.
