To accelerate the rebuilding process try to have at least three active credit lines open, and be perfect with them. Car loans or mortgages count if you still make payments, as well as old credit cards if they can still be used. If you need to obtain new credit store cards or gas cards can be easier to obtain than major credit cards. If even those fall beyond reach any one can be accepted for secured credit cards. Make sure when taking a new credit for rebuilding purposes that the creditor reports to the major credit agencies. Not all creditors submit information to the credit bureaus, and almost no debit card or check card issuers do, even ones with a MasterCard or Visa logo. Use the credit you have obtained and make your payments on time (did I mention I can’t stress this enough). On time means never being 30 days late. At fifteen days you may pay a late fee, but late items must hit 30 days overdue before they will be reported. Using credit does not mean abusing it, you need not run the card up to its limit. On the other hand, leaving the card in your wallet will not help rebuild your credit as much as positive usage. A service I have seen claims they will report your rent payments to the credit reporting agencies. Potentially this could accelarate credit score rebuilding.
