Age of account and adding joint owner

[iltph]

My dad's Sears account just started showing up on my EX five days after he added me, but it isn't showing up on TU and EQ just like his BoA (which has been reporting for about 10 months). My parents address is on my EX report and not the others so it appears to be tied directly to the name/address, since Sears or BoA do not have my SSN.

After two of the baddies I disputed are finished, I'm going to fax EQ and TU a copy of my student loan statement with my name and their address on it so hopefully my AU status will show up on them as well.

One last question guys,

 Can we easily see on a credit card statement the expenses that an authorized user made?

Thanks

 In many cases the answer is no as both the AU and the Primary have cards with the same account number. Some companies will issue the AU their own number. For example with my Costco AMEX statements it lists which purchases were made by me and which by my DW.

My AmEx Gold breaks them out as well.

I'm AU on DH's Discover, which I hardly use anyway, and it does not show our purchases separately.

Received my card today in the mail.

Cool

Thanks
