Only if the consumer voluntarily reveals the information or finds it necessary to reveal the information to obtain credit in the U.S. It is true that Equifax and TransUnion have bureaus in other countries. However, consumer credit information either good or bad cannot be transferred from one country to another due to the differences in consumer laws, such as the U.S. FCBA, FCPA and so forth. Yes, particularly from Canada, as they and the US share many of the same credit agencies. The best you can do is pay down balances and wait patiently for old accounts to drop off your credit history.

If you have a cosigner on your apartment lease will your credit be affected as much as it would if you did not have a cosigner?

Renting an apartment or home will not show up on your credit. That just builds up rental history for yourself. The only time a renter will ever report you to a credit agency is if you move out with a balance that was not paid within 14 to 30 days of your move out.


Is it possible to reset my credit history score?

No, there is no way to reset your credit score. If you are serious about restoring your credit, start by contacting your debtors and making payment arrangments.
