If you wondering how to raise a credit score or trying to repair your credit, the common method often discussed is to get negative information removed from your credit report or not have it any to be reported.  Another less practiced method is to get positive information reported.

Your accounts are not required to report their account to all three major credit bureaus.  Also, the three major credit bureaus do not share information so that leaves a potential positive account only on one credit report.  Certain creditors do not even report your payment history at all.

You should ask these accounts to report to all three credit bureaus.  The report does not have to report but asking might prompt them.  You should only do this with an account you have religiously paid on time.  There is no point requesting this with a sub par account.
