How to build or repair credit score? I'm 19 and sort of have bad credit already b/c when I tried to get an apartment for college I was rejected so instead had to get one in my parents' name. Sometimes I would pay payments early, but other times I would just totally forget about it and not pay and then I be charged interest..this has been going off and on. So, I have a few questions.. -In order to build my credit score, is it possible to just withdraw less than 30% or so from my credit line from the ATM then when it gets near the payment due date I can just pay off that entire withdrawal amount then repeat? -How long does it take to repair bad credit?....like years? Would I have to pay off credit card payments consistently for many years in order to repair my credit rating? -What's the fastest and most efficient way to repair/build credit?...And how long would it take?...Would cutting my credit card up right now and just stop using it until I graduate from college and get a job repair and/or build my credit? THanks!

How do I build/repair my credit score? I have very limited credit history. I started this January. I read that I have to get a few credit cards to build credit history. I have a secured card from Citibank which only has 200 credit limit. A Citibank secured loan for 500. Bank of America gave me 4000 CL for A Worlpoints Platinum Plus Credit Card. I have a ChaseFreedom Mastercard too. Thing is I'm preparing my credit history for a car loan. I applied for other credit cards in one day and got a few rejections... reason being having too much inquiry ( ok, i know i should have not made too many applications but i figured to just do it all at the same time) and too low credit line. But I never missed a payment, I only use 30% of my credit line and pay off more than the minimun balance. Questions : How bad will these inquiries affect my chances of a car loan? How many months should I wait to have this fixed? How can I increase my credit score? Thanks! :-)

Should i work with a debt consolidation/repair company if my credit score is 518? My credit score is 518 so i dont qualify for any loans at any banks, not even P2P lending like prosper.com. I have been reading books about debt management and i am considering going to one of these companies. What is holding me back is that i know it'll show on my credit report and by doing so i'll practically be filing for bankruptcy. i have a goal to zero down my debt ($6,000) in 2008. after i do so i want to begin saving money and start looking for a house to buy, which i know is a hard and long process. I have a lot of black spots on my credit report but i think going to a debt program will make an even darker mark on my history. is it worth it for me to consolidate my debt? will my credit score ever grow to the 700 range i wish for? how hard is it to get a house after going to a debt program?
