 TITLE: Can Utility Bills Appear on Your Credit Report? CONTENT: How Utility Bills Can Now Improve Your Credit Score\n---------------------------------------------------\nWhile historically, utility bills in good standing have not been included in credit reports, a groundbreaking new innovation called Experian Boost™† allows users to get credit for on-time payments made on utility and telecom accounts.\nExperian Boost works instantly, allowing users with eligible payment history to see their FICO® Score☉ increase in a matter of minutes. Currently, it is the only way you can get credit for your utility and telecom payments.\nThrough the new platform, users can opt in to allow Experian to connect to their bank accounts and identify past utility and telecom payments—including cable and phone bills—that were paid on time. After the user verifies the data and confirms they want it added to their credit file, they will receive an updated FICO® Score instantly. END
