Question
How do I make my credit score go up?
I have paid off all my bad debt, as in late charges on old cedit cards and all that. I need to know how to raise my score. I put a down payment on a cell phone and other stuff, but it doesn't show up on my credit report. I just need to know how to up my score without hurting myself in the process. I have changed things around and have promised myself never to get in that mess again, but now I can't get credit for anything. Help me please?

If you're employed at least 18 /24 months and have $500 in a savings account, you might be able to get a secured credit card from a bank. Make sure they belong to the credit bureau.

You put your credit score up pay buying something, then paying it off right away. NEVER be late. Only buy something if you already have the money to pay it off. (not a pay check on its' way, I mean in the bank, or in your pocket.)
