    Adding Your Name To An Existing Credit Card To Boost Credit
    Good morning! I am from South Carolina. I have read on other sites that someone can request that a persons name be added to thier cc account and a card be issued in thier name. Supossedly this creates a new line of credit with all the past payment history. Does this work? I need a to boost points for a mortgage.

    Having your name added to somebody else's credit card as an authorized signer will not improve your credit, as you wouldn't be using your credit. You have to get a credit card where you are responsible (or jointly responsible) for paying the bills if you want it to affect your credit score.
