Best Answer

The best way to improve your score is to open an account such as with a gym membership, a credit card with a very low balance (an keep it low), or order something under $75.00 from seventhavenue.com or FingerHut.com and make your payments in full and on time! Having available credit every few months helps improve your credit score. However, getting a cell phone or starting an agreement that you CAN NOT afford can put you further into debt. So be careful and only only small accounts.
