• Every month your creditors update your activity
  with the 3 major credit bureaus Trans Union,
  Experian, and Equifax.  They update the account
  with your account activity for the month, such as
  account status, monthly payment, number of
  months, account balance, available credit,
  payment status, and date of last payment. 
  Basically, they are letting the credit bureaus
  know if your account is still open, how much you
  owe, how much credit you have available, and did
  you make your payment on time.  This information
  causes your credit score to go up or down.  There
  are things you can do to raise your credit score.
•  Just as a harmful activity ordinarily takes 30
  days to report on your credit report, so does a
  positive action. It is essential to start taking

Ensure Your Credit Report is Accurate

• The first thing to do is to review your credit
  report.  There are several ways to get a copy of
  your report. You can obtain a free copy of your
  credit report by going to annualcreditreport.com. 
  The report from annualcreditreport.com does not
  give you a credit score, but it will allow you to
  review all the accounts listed on your credit
  report.  If you would like to get a copy of your
  credit reports that has a score, you will have to
  pay.  I have many of my clients sign up for
  IdentityIQ.  The link if you would like to sign
  up is Click here to sign up for IdentityIQ. 
  Identity IQ will give you an updated report with
  a score for Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union
  every 30 days.  They also allow you to select one
  of the bureaus and have daily monitoring of your

• Once you have obtained a copy of your reports
  from Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union,it is
  time to review your credit report.  Make sure
  that your name and address are reporting
  correctly.  Then look at all the accounts that
  are reporting and make sure there are no accounts
  listed that do not belong to you. 
• Now it is time to make some lists.  Make a list
  of all the things that are reporting
  incorrectly.  Removing accounts that do not
  belong to you will help improve your score.   If
  you find any account on your credit report that
  are not yours, file a dispute at each of the
  credit bureaus.

Raise Your Credit Limits

• If you have a credit card with a small credit
  limit, it is easy to go above 30 usage.  One
  option is to call the credit card issuer and see
  if they will agree to raise your credit limit on
  the card.  It is vital to keep your credit usage
  below 30 on your credit cards.  Credit usage is
  the second biggest part of your credit score and
  is 30 of your total score.  It can be worth up
  to 192.5.  It will be a significant improvement
  to your score when your credit usage drops.
• A higher credit limit has an additional advantage
  as it gives you more options to pay for emergency
  expenses. To protect your credit score by
  minimizing unnecessary loans, it is always a good
  idea to have an emergency fund to see you through
  three months of expenses. In the case of an
  unexpected bill, job loss, or illness.  A good
  goal is to have 3 months of expenses in savings.
  This way, you will not have to use your credit
  card to pay your expenses, which will increase
  your usage and hurt your score.

• Be careful when raising the credit limit of your
  credit cards.  You want to make sure the lender
  will approve your increase. The creditor will be
  looking at things like you are earning enough
  income to cover your monthly bills.  Have you had
  recent late payments?  If you are currently
  struggling with your bills and have recent late
  payments, do not make the call. 
• If you are given increases on your credit cards,
  be cautious of overspending. Do not let your
  balance go over 30 if you want your credit score
  to improve. If you do go over 30,you will end up
  hurting your credit score and not have that
  credit available in an emergency.

Pay Off Your Credit Card Debt

• Your credit utilization ratio is the comparison
  of the amount of credit card debt you have to the
  credit limit. Thus, keeping the utilization low
  is vital. Your credit utilization is 30 of your
  credit score. It can be worth up to 192.5
  points.  Make a list of all your cards, your
  credit limit, and how much you owe.  Write down
  how much 30 usage is on each card and write down
  how much you must pay to get to 30.  To get the
  highest points possible, get the Utilization down
  to 2.  This will give you the most points
  possible for Utilization, and your credit score
  will improve quickly.

How to Improve Your Credit Score Fast by Paying
Off Your Debt

• It is essential to come up with a plan to pay
  down your credit card debts. If you focus on the
  total amount, it can seem like an impossible
  task. Alternatively, break your debt into smaller
  portions such as I will pay 200 extra every
  month on the card with the lowest limit first
  then work your way to the higher balance cards. 
• Another option is to get a 0 Annual Percentage
  Rate balance card. A 0 Annual Percentage Rate
  credit card offers you 0 interest on your credit
  card balance for a given period. It means you can
  move credit card debt to a new credit card. It
  will be easier to pay down a card that will not
  be charging you interest for 6-24 months.
• The disadvantage of this strategy is that it does
  not consider the interest rate and hence, can
  cost you more in the future.
