Experian added a feature to Boost, its free UK credit tool, that shows consumers how a lender might read their rent, buy now, pay later and household bill payments before they apply for a loan, credit card or mortgage. Users also get personalized notes on what is helping or hurting their profile and what they can do to improve their chances of approval. Boost now lets tenants put their rent payments on their Experian credit report as well. Experian began counting rent in its UK credit score last November for tenants who report those payments through outside services like CreditLadder.
