FAQs
Will this impact how I pay my rent?
No. You will continue to pay your rent to your Property Management Company or Landlord in exactly the same way that you currently do. Nothing changes!
How will my rent payments be verified?
You provide us with basic information on your landlord or property manager when you enroll. We contact them and verify your rent payments to build the credit you deserve from your timely rent payments. There is no cost or fee to your landlord or property manager to verify your rent.
What if my Landlord won't Verify My Rent Payments?
If we are unable to verify your rent with your landlord or property manager you won’t pay a penny! You can also upload or send us rent ledgers or cancelled checks show timely rent payments. We try to make this flexible and easy!
How much will my Credit Score increase?
We cannot guarantee a specific score improvement or a specific time-frame because everyone’s credit situation is different & unique. Sometimes other credit and factors will impact the credit profile, so it’s important to maintain timely payments on other credit trade lines while we are reporting your rent.
Will my Rental Payments be reported to all three Bureaus
No. Experian does not currently participate in Rent Reporting. The good news is that Trans Union and Equifax will report your rental payments as a Teir-1 Trade Line.
Will I need to provide a Rental Agreement or Lease?
Yes, The credit bureaus do require a document between you & your landlord. This will establish the date the rental payments started, the frequency of payments, & amount due. We find that most tenant/landlord relationships already have a written agreement. However, if you do not have a copy of this lease, you need to contact your landlord & establish one before we can report your rental payments.
Can I add my Room Mate?
Rent Reporting is just like any other trade line on your credit report. It’s based on your unique information, your social security number and date of birth etc. So, we cannot provide a “joint” account, but we can add your room mate at a discounted cost. You can get a discount code at the time of enrollment, have your room mate use that code for a discount.
What happens if I pay my rent payment late?
All credit including rent payments are only considered late by the credit reporting agencies (CRA) if the payment is received more than 30-days past the due date. As long as you pay your rent within 30-days of your due date, it will be counted as an "on time" payment on your credit report. Remember to pay all your bills (including rent) on time, it’s very important!
Is Rock The Score a Credit Repair Company?
No, we are not a credit repair service. We can refer you to a company for assistance. Simply contact us for additional information.
How will my rental Trade Line appear on my Credit Report?
It will show as an "open rental agreement" account on your credit report and will show as RTS MGMT
