Why Do People Say Tradelines Don't Work?

These people are simply incorrect. They either have inexperienced opinions, or never took the time to actually learn what buying/brokering/selling authorized tradelines really looks like from the inside. Their opinions have most likely been formed based on misinformation. There is plenty of written ifnormation to back this up, not only from other tradeline companies but the fact that these companies still exist. For example, buying authorized user tradelines is not a solution for people who have bad credit. While we state this repeatedly, and while it's written directly on our website (and every other tradeline company's website, people don't always pay attention. When someone disregards the process completely and ends up disappointed for buying a product or service that was never designed for their needs to begin with, they're quite quick to complain.

There are also people who simply spread rumors for reasons that don't really make any sense. It could be due to a story they heard, uncertainty about the subject but wanting to have an opinion, or a basic lack of direct experience (or familiarity). They might easuly see or consider this business as some sort of a scam since it isn't widely promoted or practiced as mainstream credit knowledge. Many also say that the scoring models used by the major credit bureaus have changed, or that finance companies are now disregarding authorized user tradelines when considering a potential loan - and that simply couldn't be further from the truth!
