Will adding someone's name to a credit account in order to improve their credit effect the credit of the person whose card it is if the person added is not given a card?

The credit will only be effected based on the payment history, or the balance to limit ratio can have an affect. (i.e. if the credit card has a limit of $1000 and the balance is $999) or really over 50 percent of the limit it can affect your credit even you make the payments on time. It isn't the same way if you have a non-credit card type account. (i.e. a car loan or fixed type of loan). The biggest change that adding someone with bad credit to a loan or credit account can be is regarding the interest rate. If your doing it simply to improve credit, then make sure the loan amount is very small so you don't over pay interest.
