"Empowering Your Credit Score: When And How To Disconnect From An Authorized User Status"
song.url
One of the most popular ways to kickstart your credit journey is by becoming an authorized user on someone else's credit card – typically, a parent's, spouse's, or friend's card. It's an excellent method for building credit, as it allows you to leverage their established credit history (find more details in this post). However, as your credit history matures, it's crucial to consider removing yourself from that authorized user card. Why, you ask? Just as being an authorized user can bolster your credit, it can also harm it. If the primary cardholder experiences late payments or carries a high balance, your credit score will feel the impact because you're connected to the account as an authorized user.
So, when should you make the decision to cut ties with being an authorized user? Here are some key indicators:
If any of the above conditions apply to your situation, it's wise to take steps to remove yourself as an authorized user and ensure the account no longer appears on your credit report. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step #1: Contact the bank's customer service to request removal from the authorized user status on the account.
Step #2: Get in touch with the bank and ask to speak with their credit reporting department. Clearly state that the account they're reporting is not yours, you're not responsible for the balance or payments, and request its immediate removal from your credit report. Make sure to request a confirmation letter from them acknowledging the removal.
For convenience, here are the phone numbers to bank credit bureau departments:
Step #3: Over the next 30 days, closely monitor your credit. You can do this easily and for free using platforms like Credit Karma or WalletHub. Ensure that the authorized user account vanishes from your credit report entirely. The mark "terminated" isn't sufficient; it must disappear. If it lingers after 30 days, repeat Step #2.
For those applying for a mortgage, once you obtain the bank's confirmation letter stating the removal of the authorized user account from your report, request your mortgage broker to perform a rapid rescore. This should automatically update your credit file within 48 hours.
By following these steps, you can expertly manage your authorized user status and take charge of your credit journey with confidence.
