Had a friend that had terrible credit.He got a secured visa and would charge any purchases he made on it then send a payment in for that amount immediatly.A few months after that he had offers for pre approved cards coming in on a weekly basis.Be easy on the credit card debt as it can hurt your credit if you over load your self.
You could also ask any companies that you are making payments to to report this on your credit.If you need a car you can go to a tote the note lot and have this also reported to the credit buereau.You need to go easy on having inquiries made to your credit.Too many inquiries can also hurt.
Hope this helps!

Eartha,
Unfortunatly there is no quick process. It is a slow deliberate process. Depending on your credit it can take up to a year or more to get it where you want it to be.
Here is a web site that may answer some questions for you. It is an exellent site in fact I got this from another posting on this site. Go to www.creditinfocenter.com This should help you.
Go to the Pac trust link at the top of this news group, there is a feature in there that explains how to read credit reports and also gives helpful advise on consideration of creditors and credit ratings.
