What makes your credit score go up?

Credit scores look at all the typical things. Do you have any credit accounts? You gotta have credit to have a credit score. How long have you had credit? What is your credit history like? Do you pay on-time or do you have significant delinquencies and defaults? A credit report is, in the simplest of terms, a history of how you have managed debt in the past. If that history is positive you will have a high score. If you have a history of not managing debt well, your score will reflect that. Aside from the simplicities, there are tips and tricks to help raise scores. But those won't work if you don't understand and practice the basics; namely, to borrow, then pay back, on time.

The credit bureaus can offer information on what to do to imporve your credit history, as can credit card comapnies and many government publications. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to "repair" you credit so much as develop practices to protect your rating and improve your credit score through paying debts and not incurring new ones. BEWARE of any "credit repair" offers. They are a scam and sometimes illegal. Your credit history is simply a reflection of your spending habits. Nothing more, nothing less. Act responsibly, live within your means and your credit history will slowly get better and better.
