Piggybacking

Piggybacking (Credit Score)
Piggybacking is a financial scheme in which an individual with poor credit history is added as an authorized user to a credit account held by someone with a strong credit rating, with the objective of improving the former's credit score. The legality and ethics of this practice are contentious, as it can potentially mislead lenders who base loan decisions on credit scoring.
