This worked for me about 10 years ago when i was a bumb playing in metal bands and needed to get a car,house and some credit.

Not sure if it still works now, but it is a way to get instant long term good looking credit. You need someone who trusts you with a long term of paying their bills to their credit companys on time. I had it good that i had my girlfriend(now wife) at the time had over 10 years of paying on her credit cards on time. Just have them call up the cc company and have them issue you a second card on that account (this is where the trust thing comes in,not many will do this for someone). AS soon as the card comes in the mail give it back and tear it up. In a couple months i had that "good credit" rating from the cc company on my credit record, it appeared i was the one owning and paying on that card all those years.

Not sure if this is still a valid method anymore, but at the time it worked for me and many others (who read the same book as i did ;-))
