 TITLE: How Utility Bills Can Boost Your Credit Score CONTENT: Are Utility Bills Reported to Credit Bureaus?\n---------------------------------------------\nUtility bills have historically been left out of consumer credit reports entirely, primarily because they're not considered credit accounts. Even now, utility companies don't automatically report your monthly payments to the three credit reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax).\nWith a new tool called Experian Boost™† , however, you can have certain utility accounts included in your credit report to help increase your credit score.\nThis tool is available only for your Experian credit report, which means that utility bills will continue to have no influence on your Equifax and TransUnion credit reports, along with your credit scores based on those reports.
