I know little to nothing about credit, but in the past few years have started a good paying career and am looking to get my credit up to 700.
I only have 3 things agains't my credit right now, one being a medical bill, a past phone bill I stopped paying, and a $300 limit credit card I got in 2011.
How do I turn my 525 into a 700, and how long can it take to get to 700 from here? Months? Years? I get denied for basically everything and I want to turn that around!
I know getting a secured credit card will help, but will getting multiple secured cards help speed things up?
Does my credit score go up when I pay off my current debts? What other avenues can I take to quickly up my credit score?
Excuse if this is a topic already addressed but search feature is down right now so couldn't find a post to read up on!
