What is Bill & Rent Reporting?

Bill & Rent Reporting lets you report eligible rent and bill payments to the credit bureaus to help build your credit history. It’s an easy way to get credit for payments you already make.

How does reporting work?

Once you’ve selected the bills you want to report, Possible will add those payments as tradelines and report up to 24 months of past payment history, if available, to TransUnion.
