    If you’ve had recent defaults, charge-offs, late pays, then you need to understand that you’ll have bad credit for at least 2 years after these major events have happened as your credit rating is most heavily weighted on what’s occurred in the past 24 months. After that time you’re credit rating will start to go back up.

    - If you’re carrying large balance on your credit cards, pay those down and get them below 25% of your available balance. This can really help your credit score. CatDad

    Just keep making regular payments beyond the minimum payment each month on any credit card account that you have and avoid making any payments late.
    If you already have late payments, fines on your account, it takes around two years for that to clear, but if you call your credit card companies and ask them to help you, sometimes they can bend the rules and clear up certain things from your accounts that will help your credit score. Marc
