Creating a FICO from Scratch (Fastest Way)?

What is the fastest way to created a FICO 620+

 

For example, which AU cards back date?

 

Will a secured card report quicker if AU is reporting?

 

What would happen in this scenario?

  • add 3 AU 2+ years seasoning w/ utilization <10%
  • add 2 new secured cards

 It would be near impossible to answer this without knowing more about your profile. We need more information in order to even try to determine the best way to get a score increase to those numbers. 

 

Current scores?

How many accounts / what type?

Balances?

Delinquencies?

ETC, ETC

There is no score.

 

Just 2-3 inquiries.

Why not just go ahead and get 2 cards in your name ASAP?

 

I have no idea how an AU can build or boost your score, but (including an AU) it does create a dependency upon another individual which I've never been a fan of, but that's just me.

Re: Creating a FICO from Scratch (Fastest Way)?

From my research, adding two cards could take 6 months to create a FICO score.

 

Looking for the magic pill scenario.

 

I know it's been done before where people were able to get DU approval in 30-45 days without getting downgraded to a manual review.

 

Just looking for modern approach on things.

Re: Creating a FICO from Scratch (Fastest Way)?

get 1 secured card from whoever you bank with - fund it and use it regularly

 

get your name as an AU on 1 of the cards you mentioned

 

then wait and keep checking CK to see when your score first pops up

 

at the start it is best to learn that this is a Slow and Steady game

In the last couple years I've noticed that CitiCards, AMEX, CBNA (Community Bank), JPMCB (JP Morgan Chase), THD/CBNA (Home Depot, Community Bank), FNB Omaha, SYNCB (Synchrony Bank), Capital One, Barclays Bank, and TD Bank USA/Target all back date authorized user history.

Re: Creating a FICO from Scratch (Fastest Way)?

@RobynJ 's post has a path that was chosen with time as high priority.

You could just follow her example.

*

Others might pick another path with slower score gain and a card set that

would not need revamping, less work, and no loans.
