How to Improve your Credit

  • Make sure all the information in your report is accurate.
  • Dispute inaccurate items in your report. (Note our credit report service includes toll-free customer service if you have questions about filing a dispute.)
  • Pay off any collections or past due amounts.
  • Pay down loan balances if you are able.
  • Try to have a period of 12 to 24 months with no late payments, past dues or other derogatory items.
  • Try to minimize the number of inquiries into your credit report from credit grantors, by not applying for credit unless absolutely necessary.
