A new green card holder will be in the same situation as any other consumer that has not yet established credit accounts that are reported to the three main credit bureaus. Until you have a traditional credit account that is reported to credit bureaus, you will have no credit history. You will be known as an unscorable, since there is insufficient data to be able to adequately predict your risk of nonpayment on a credit account.

Can adding a second card holder to your credit account affect your credit score?

Not if you are responsible for all of the loans or credit card payments on your credit report. But, if the second card holder is responsible for any payments on your cards, and doesn't make them, then it can cause your score to lower.


Does a second credit card holder receive a credit card?

Yes, a second credit card holder has his/her credit card also but of course, they are just under the primary card holder.


If someone applies for a credit card and adds a relative as a joint card holder does only the primary card holders past credit come into play?

This all depends on the lender. Many lenders will require that a joint card holder must have a good enough credit score to have qualified for the card on their own, while others will only pay attention to the credit score of the primary card holder and just make sure that any joint holders are free from derogatory information. If you are considering adding someone to your credit card account, or being added to a credit card account, ask them before attempting to do so.

What does your credit score have to be to get a credit card?

This completely depends on the bank you are going to and their guidelines. Currently, most banks are turning people down with credit score below 660. If your score is not high enough, one of my favorite ways to boost a person's credit card score is to teach them about the magic of authorized users. Authorized usersare people who have permission to use other people's credit cards. For instance, your husband might have a Citi card. His name, and his credit score, was used to apply for the account, but you have permission to use the account.Becoming an authorized user is a powerful way to boost your credit score because you get to borrow the account holder's good credit history. If you are an authorized user on a credit card in good standing, your credit score will reflect the credit card's positive payment history by increasing. Beware, though: If you are an authorized user on a credit card in poor standing, your credit score will reflect the credit card's negative payment history by dropping.


Is an authorized credit card user responsible for credit card debt if the primary card holder declares bankruptcy?

No. The card holder is responsible for all debt on the credit they extended to him. (You may be responsible to the credit card holder for the debt he incurred for you, if that was your agreement).

Can a secondary card holder remove himself from an account leaving only the primary card holder's name?
