For getting any kind of loan Credit History is much more important than credit score. Often, the lack of credit history is equated with bad credit. You should be aware that lenders will go through your credit report once you apply for loan for buying a house. Therefore you should polish your credit report. Anyway, in order to establish a good credit history and at the same time risen your credit score in a short time do following things:

1) Close all of your credit cards but one. It reflects in your credit report and it is a very good sign. For instance say that you have 5 credit cards with $1000 credit limit for each. Therefore you are responsible for $5000 of possible debt. But when you close 4 of them, now you are only responsible for $1000 of debt which lowers the level of risk of lending money to you.

2) If you have any loan, like car loan or any balance on your credit cards, try to pay more than your monthly payment for 6 months or something. I mean say your monthly due on your car loan is $150, try to pay $250 each month. Lenders can see these trends in your credit report and they see that you閳ユ獧e a responsible borrower.

If you don閳ユ獩 have such loans, I suggest getting a $3000-$4000 loan and paying it off in full in 5-6 months. You might pay $200-$300 of interest but you will save thousands of dollars in your home mortgage and interest rates.

I found my credit score raising to slow for me. So I started paying just a little bit above the minum. Like 5.00 and it made a big diffrence. but I lost 1 credit card because I didn%26#039;t use it and it dropped my credit score big time. so make sure you use your 0 balance one atleast 1 time per year. Hope this helps. I watch mine monthly.

Sounds like you are doing everything right. Try to use each card once a month, and make sure you pay it off every month. That really helped my sister.

you are doing good you should applaud yourself

here is another little helper

go to a bank and see if you can get a small loan of 500

or 1000 put it as a signature loan they are for 30 days and must be pd in full after the 30 days

put the $ in the bank after you get the loan you will get a few cents in interest but its safe

pay off the loan on day 26-28

this will help bring it up

also making small purchase on your 0 balance and paying them off like gas for 20.00 or a small dinner for 30.00

that will help too

Before paying the 600 Orchard card, dispute it. Even if it%26#039;s only for an intial not used properly , or simply, I do not recall these charges. Better to remove it then pay it and have it still show on their. You want to keep a balance of approx. 100-150 on your card and of course pay greater than the min. payment due. On time payments are for obvious reasons, but the zero balance leaves you open for the potential to create a mass debt so you want it to show usage. Be sure to dispute inquiries, addresses and alias%26#039;s as well because they also count against you. Also, you may want to submit a brief explanation letter to your credit report for others to recieve when they pull your credit.
