1. What is a Tradeline?
A tradeline is a record of credit activity on a specific account, such as a credit card or loan, reported to credit bureaus. When you are added as an authorized user to an existing tradeline, the account’s positive history, like on-time payments and credit utilization, may appear on your credit report, potentially boosting your credit score.
2. What type of Tradelines does LM Financial Consulting LLC offer?
We provide a variety of tradeline services designed to help clients improve their credit profiles. Our offerings include:
- Primary Tradelines – Credit accounts that are actively used and reported by major credit bureaus to establish or enhance credit history.
- Seasoned Tradelines – Accounts that have been open for a longer period, offering a more positive payment history and higher credit limits to improve credit scores.
- Authorized User Tradelines – Clients can be added as authorized users to high-limit, well-managed accounts to boost credit scores and increase overall creditworthiness.
Each type of tradeline is tailored to meet specific credit improvement goals, ensuring our clients achieve the best possible results.
3. How long does it take for the tradeline to appear on my credit report?
Tradelines typically appear on your credit report within 30 to 45 days after being added, depending on the credit card issuer’s reporting cycle and your credit bureau updates.
4. Will I have access to the credit card as an Authorized User?
No, you will not receive the physical credit card or access to the account. This service is solely to help boost your credit by reflecting the positive history of the account on your credit report.
5. How long will I stay on the tradeline?

7. How much of a credit score boost can I expect?
The increase in your credit score depends on several factors, including your current credit profile, existing debts, and payment history.
