Good afternoon, Bo. How do I get alternative tradelines such as a water bill to report on my credit report? Do I need to contact the water company and ask them to do it? How much does it cost them to report it regularly? --------------------------------- utilities are not considered credit phone, water, electric, insurance. They do not report unless you do not pay. sometimes one can get rent

It's up to each company whether or not they want to report, that is why utilities are called alternate tradelines.
