Quick question about AT&T

AT&T has both my name and my brother's name on it. Currently my brother is paying for it monthly, if I decide to take over the monthly bill and start paying it with my cc will my credit report adopt the history of that TL?

Re: Quick question about AT&T

Who is the primary account holder?

 

Is it showing on your CR now?

Welcome to the forums.

 

My understanding is that utilities, cable bills, phone bills etc. do not report to the CRA's unless the account has delinquencies. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

You can do the same thing with hard work

Marinevietvet is correct.  It will not show on your CR unless it becomes negative.

For future reference.  If you are the primary account holder of an account, no matter who pays it, it will be on your CR, if they report to the CRAs.
