It’s been said that a white lie never really hurt anyone. We don’t know if that’s true or not, but they might be good for your credit score. Here are a few little lies that may help your FICO. It’s not really being dishonest (there’s enough of that going around lately), it’s more like embellishing your side of the story so financial providers will look more favorably upon you.

Most lenders don’t report every single transaction or late payment. That’s not necessarily something you want to bring to their attention. If you’ve slipped up a few times, and have ended up paying late more than once, and it doesn’t appear on your credit history, just thank the powers that be and make every effort to pay on schedule in the future. Conversely, if your payment history is immaculate, you may want to say something if there’s something lacking on your report. Missing information can make your credit history look not-so-appealing to potential lenders. If a good portion of your accounts are missing some information, a creditor may not have enough info to decide whether or not you’re creditworthy. To flesh out your credit report, call those lenders who aren’t so good at reporting transactions, and ask them to start communicating more about your credit history. Another thing to consider: The reports you’ll receive from each of the three main credit bureaus (Experian, Trans-Union, and Equifax) will most likely contain different information. Just because there’s a blemish on one report, doesn’t mean it will appear on the others.
