Will being an AU on a Sears MC report to all three CRAs?

[iltph]

Can someone tell me if Sears reports AUs to all three CRAs? My dad just added me as an AU on his Sears MasterCard account that's been open for 37 years! The CSR said she didn't need my SSN so I'm a bit concerned that it will not be reported on my CR.

it should.... however I'm auth on my parents Sears Card and it only reports to Ex and TU I think, I would have to go look, it may be on all 3.

Do you have any idea if they have your SSN?

I've been on my parents BoA account for 9 months and it's only reporting to EX. My parents address is used on both cards for me and it's only showing up on EX, which I think is why the BoA only reports there.

Do you think I would need to add my parents addy to EQ and TU so they can match my name up with their address so the two accounts will show up there? (since they're not using a SSN)

No, the only company I know that takes Socials for auth users is amex.

hotsaka,

Did the put your address down when they added you as an AU or did they put you down as living at their address?

you don't get to add any of your personal information when being added as auth. it's just name!

How can a credit card company report to the CB's for an AU if they dont have your SSN.  When i added my brother as an AU for a while, i gave his SSN and they reported to all 3 bureaus and we had different addresses.

I really think they need your SSN.

I could be wrong but how else can they report. So many people have the same name.

the only credit card I have ever given my social for auth user is amex, and they have always shown up on my credit report.
