You have to pay all your bills in full and on time. You should have %26quot;revolving credit%26quot; i.e. credit cards and %26quot;installment credit%26quot; i.e. mortgage and loans (personal loan and/or auto loans). Usually it takes 2 years of on time payments to raise your credit score.

There are other factors in the formulas the credit rating agencies use. Making payments on time is a major item. Paying more than the minimum balance counts more than paying the minimum balance. Paying on a card that is never charged more than about 30 percent of the credit limit is more beneficial than paying on a card that is maxed out. Paying the entire balance each month may mean more than paying interest.

So a lot depends on how much of the credit limit you use, how big your payments are compared to the minimum, never incurring a penalty, and similar factors. Your credit score will grow fastest when all positive factors are evident.
