Hi friends.
In a YT video of James, that he uploaded back in Jul 16, 2024, James mentioned that many of the USA Banks are now requiring a residential Utility Bill as opposed to just a Rental Agreement.
I have also confirmed this from many sources across the net. (Again, thank you James.)
Since I’m wanting to build USA credit, I have been holding off on applying for an AMEX or FirstCard until I can get a Legitimate Utility bill that can be accompanied with a rental Agreement.
In my case, I do not have friends or family in the States, so that is not an option for me. (Probably like many of you.)
Additionally, I feel I need to have a “Current-Utility-Bill” available to me long term. I don’t want to get a Utility bill in my name just for 60 days. That will not help me as I would like to “continually” get approved for both personal and business credit from several banks-credit card companies, ongoing.
I am willing to pay a portion of some one’s rent to get this scenario in place.
To be clear, I want to pay around $200 to $300 max towards a reliable person’s rent or mortgage payment every month. Basically, I’m seeking clever ways to establish a relationship and scenario between myself and an American person.
Can anyone share a strategy that they have heard of, or used to create this type of an arrangement set-up with a total stranger who lives in the States?
(Naturally, I’ll need to vet the person as best I can for reliability and honesty. After all, I don’t want a person ghosting me after I get a Utility Bill set up at their residence in my name, and then having them apply for credit using my personal info.)
Also, I’m not want to get an Anytime Mailbox address, because that does not come with a Utility bill.
(Thanks in advance for all suggestions friends and Thanks for uploading so much valuable content and creating this group James.)
