Diversify your credit to give your credit score a boost:

 

- Open a secured line of credit - secured personal credit with a Credit Union.

- Become an Authorized User of someone with a good credit score.

- Ask for a Credit Line Increase to help you boost your credit score.

- Stop opening new lines of credit if you don't need them.

- Get current and Pay Down Multiple Times. It looks good on your credit score.

- Don’t make sudden large buys, if you don't need to.

 

Don't do the following, they affect your credit score:

 

- Try to avoid collections

- If you get a credit card don’t close it

- Avoid introductory rates  

- Don't apply for a new credit line within 2 weeks after you got approved for one.

- Remember, 30% utilization per account in total. I said it before and I want to repeat it again.

 

Keep your credit score healthy:

 

- Separate business credit & personal credit.

- Open new accounts when appropriate

- Credit freeze if you don't need to apply for new credit lines.

- Get Identity Theft Protection. It's worth it!

 

Try to keep your credit score good, excellent is better!

 

Excellent credit score starts around 760+ points. Good luck!
