Just bring accounts up to date is not going to bring up your credit score very much. The score is not just based on up to date payments. The score also consist of high balances, recent arrears, how established the account is, etc.
Usually if you've just made a payment to cover the arrears (late payment), your balance is probably high.
Your landlord would have to report payments to the credit bureau.
The higher your credit score, the lower your payments. The lower your credit score, the higher your payments. The analogy above shows how your credit rate affects you mortgage rate.
A high credit score rating means someone is in good standing credit wise. They are prompt in payments and always pay payments in full. A good credit score is sought after by many people, because its a mark of a responsible person.
To get credit to build a credit score, you must take a loan out on something such as a car or a house and then make payments. The more you are on time, the better your score will be.

My credit score is 606 at the moment,i just have my loan mod done and final. I'm making my payments ahead of time,How much my credit score can go up within a year of making payments on time. Thank you for your answer.
Provided the payments are made on time, no this will not hurt your credit score. If the person you are co-signing for doesn't make the proper payments on time and you cover the payments so that they are in full and on time, your credit score will be fine. The only concern is if the payments aren't made on time or in full your credit score will be hurt as much as the person's for whom you are co-signing. In essence, co-signing a loan means you take responsibility for making sure the other person will make the proper payments on time and in full.

Yes. Bill payments can affect your credit score.
Not if you are responsible for all of the loans or credit card payments on your credit report. But, if the second card holder is responsible for any payments on your cards, and doesn't make them, then it can cause your score to lower.
