7 ways to build your credit 1. Ask companies to report on your behalf Do you have any recurring bills that you pay on a monthly basis, such as rent, utilities, cable or a cellphone? Try giving the providers a call and requesting that they report your account activity to the three major credit bureaus — TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. But do this only if you have responsible payment habits, as payment history accounts for 35 percent of your credit scores and can have a significant impact if there is not a lot of other data in your credit reports. Also, bear in mind that these companies are not obligated to report to the bureaus, and your request is simply a favor that they have the right to deny.
