    This is probably a universal truth – consult a credit counelsing agency. They will lower the monthly payments and consolidate the debt by effective with the creditors on your behalf. This won’t immeadiately improve the score but it will help.

    No matter what you do, don’t get any more credit. Though if the score is low sufficient no one will extend it anyway.

    Bankruptcy may be an option to do away with the debt but it will take years to repair your credit with that.

    Excellent luck.

    For the most part, it doesn’t matter what people you’re in. The only thing that can improve your credit rating is time and better credit history. Make your payments on time. Make superfluous payments when possible. Call your creditors to see if they can help you by lowering your interest rates and refinancing loans for a lower cost. My husband and I had BAD credit, and this was the only thing that could help. If you file for a bankruptcy, that will be on your credit for several years and will look worse to possible creditors than the fact that you are trying to dig yourself out on your own. You made the mess, no you have to clean it up. I know it sucks, but it’s right. Make sure you keep accurate records so that when you irrevocably pay a bill off, you can contact the credit bureaus with that information and get the terrible info off quickly. We did this and we were able to buy a home, a new car, and a motorcycle within a year and a half! Excellent luck!

    Call your creditors and clarify why you’ve been delinquent on your payments. Most of them will be willing to arrange a payment plot. Then place everything you can on involuntary deduction, so you don’t have to remember to pay. Make certain the money is in the bank in time for the deduction. With you have paid all your obligations on time for a year or so, your credit will start to improve. With you get your debts vacant, pick up a small book called “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T.Harv Eker. It clarifies what percentage of your income should be spent on what in order to stay out of financial problems.

    You have to start showing a record of timely payment on all your obligations, as a first step. Credit ratings are based on many factors, but timely payment of obligations is key. Also, the ratio of how much you owe to how much credit you have is a factor – the higher the ratio, the less creditworthy you are.

    It will probably take a couple of years at least to fix your credit rating. You need to get the ratio of what you owe to how much credit you have down.

    DO WHAT IM DOING… go to a consolidation agency and they will help you lower your interest rats, and the best thing… u will only have to pay one bill (for all of your credit cards). you will subdue be getting your creditors statements but you dont have to pay them, you pay the agency.
