1. First, you have to put credit cards away to stop debt from mounting up. Refraining from making credit card purchases will help you have more control of your credit situation.

3. Contact the credit bureau to correct any inaccurate entries stated in your credit report to avoid being denied in future credit-based applications. After all, you have the right to have invalid information taken out of your credit report.
4. Since 35% of your credit score is made up of your payment history, you might want to update yourself with delinquent accounts. Doing so will have an immense effect on your credit.
5. While trying to improve your credit score, avoid putting in any more credit applications. The odds are you will get denied and furthermore, these applications will only decrease your credit score.
6. Maintain accounts with balances open. Before closing delinquent accounts, make sure that doing so won’t have negative effects on your credit score.
7. You might want to try talking to your creditors about your circumstances. You just might be surprised how willing they are to help. Ask them about their temporary hardship programs to help trim your monthly payments down until you have recovered from this financial setback.
8. Start paying your debts. This will help you recover from your credit situation. If you are a little low on cash, consider selling some of your belongings or properties. These may be difficult to let go of but in the long run, your sacrifice will be worth the financial freedom you’ll achieve.

10. Be patient in applying these approaches to improve your credit score. If you follow these tips and explore even more ways to increase your credit score, you’ll ultimately see a vast amount of progress in your credit situation!
