Dispute information that is incorrect. Dispute any accounts that could have been created fraudulently. Any negative accounts you do recognize and own put
them in an order from oldest to newly created. Then put them in an order of which balances could be paid off faster. The bigger your debt is and the more recent your missed payments are, the worse your score will be.This should give you an understanding of why your current FICO score is low.
#2 Make Your Payments On Time
​
Your payment history is one of the very important components of FICO scoring. Slow and missed payments will reduce your FICO scores, and public records and collections can cause significant damage. This negative information will remain on your credit report and impact your credit scores for 7+ years.
Bring all your accounts current by making payment arrangements with all creditors at what you could afford to pay them, continue to pay on time. This will have a great impact on your credit scores.
#3 Credit Utilization Rate
​
Credit scoring models will take into account how much you debt owed compared to how much credit you have available, called your credit utilization rate or your balance-to-limit ratio. Basically, it’s the sum of all of your revolving debt (such as your credit card balances) divided by the total credit that is available to you (or the total of all your credit limits). High credit utilization rate can negatively impact your credit scores.
keep your credit utilization rate below 30%. For example, if you have a $10,000 credit limit across all of your credit cards, you should try to keep
your total credit card balances below $3,000 to keep your credit utilization rate low. There are two ways to reduce your credit utilization rate:
Reduce your debt by paying off your account balances. Increase your total available credit by raising your credit limit on an existing account or opening new credit account. Downside...if you try to open a new credit card, an inquiry will appear on your credit report and temporarily reduce your credit score. Reducing your balances on credit cards and other revolving credit accounts is likely the better option to improve your credit utilization rate, and, subsequently, your credit scores. Consistently, making on-time payments against your debt will also help you build a positive credit history, which can have additional benefits for your credit history and, by extension, your credit scores, too.
