For you the only way will be patience, because you have so many negatives on your credit with no positive credit history. You should apply for a secured credit card, or department store credit(which might be easier to obtain)if you're seriously ready to start cleaning up your credit. Remember to be on time All the time, and after a while your score will go up because you are showing you are now more responsible with debt than you were in the past. Remember, with a credit card keep your spending low(below 35%)so it doesn't look like you're living on your credit cards. Good Luck! PS be patient, and don't lose hope!
If you pay off the collection accounts in full many(if not all) the collection agencies will automatically remove the account from your credit report. If you don't have the money to pay off the collection accounts then try to settle with the collection agencies for $0.50 on the dollar and if you still need time to pay them off then offer to pay a certain amount monthly until the debt is settled. Once the debt has been settled and you have received confirmation of a zero balance remaining then pull a copy of you credit report (from all three CRA's) and if they are still remaining then dispute the collection accounts saying they are not your accounts. Also, dispute the car loan charge off saying you need an update on this account because it has never been late and the negative marks are preventing you from taking on new credit. You have a 50/50 chance that they won't respond to the CRA's and it will be deleted from your reports. The best time to dispute negative items on your credit reports is mid-November and Dec. 1st while most companies are preparing for the holidays or end of the year reports. Be patient because you may have to dispute the items several times before they fall off. Good luck.

Can a 501 FICO score be repaired when you have a car loan charge off and several medical accounts open in collection which are all 2 years old?
The starting point of your score has little to do with credit repair; nor does the age of accounts. The date on collections that has the most affect on your score is the date the collection was updated on the bureau. You would still benefit by going through the credit repair process, although depending on the specifics of your particular file, the results you get may not be optimal. Another aspect that is important would be for you to have ongoing positive credit to offset these derogatory items. A lot of consumers think, "I have some bad credit, so it doesn't matter...". They couldn't be more mistaken. Credit scores are calculations based on ALL the information in your credit report. So having positive information is very important to add into the mix along with your repo and collection accounts.
Can a collection ruin your credit report?
Yes a collection can ruin your credit report. Collections are similar to charge offs and will lower your score significantly all depending on the age of the collections and the amount owed. You can remove a collection by disputing it to the credit bureaus or by contacting the original creditor and working out a deal. Either way works well. You might have to hire a credit repair service if you decide to dispute it or have the money to settle the collection if you contact the creditor directly.
How long will it take for bad credit to be taken out of your record?
The date when the derogatory account is going to be removed from your credit report is known as the FCRA Compliance Date. Most derogatory accounts remain on your credit report for 7 years. Although there are exceptions. Chapter 7 bankruptcy accounts will remain on your credit report for 10 years. A tax lien may report indefinitely. You can try to have the accounts removed before the FCRA Compliance Date by contacting the credit bureaus, collection agencies, and original creditors. If you don't know what you are doing you will need to do quite a bit of research on how this process works, or you may hire a professional credit repair company to help you.
How can you repair your credit after charge offs?
Building back good credit requires patience and time. If you can, get a secured or unsecured credit card. Use it to make small purchases and pay the balance each month. Keeping a low debt on credit cards can help build credit. Keep an eye on your credit reports to ensure that they're accurate and that there are no unauthorized accounts. Limit the amount of credit cards you keep. If you can't pay cash for something, question yourself as to whether you really need it. Old accounts should be erased from your record after seven years. Good luck.

A credit repair clinic claims to fix your credit or qualify you for a loan. But you can do these things yourself without paying the fee that a repair clinic will charge.
How do you get paid collection accounts removed from your credit report?
Removing Paid Accounts from a Credit ReportIf you haven't paid your collection account(s) yet, negotiate with the collection agency. State that you plan to pay in full, and that you want them to agree to remove the item from your credit report. If you've paid, and the item remains on your report, go to the credit bureau and dispute the item that has been paid. It's a good chance that the collection agency has purged your record and therefore will NOT verify a dispute investigation from the credit bureau. If the credit bureau doesn't receive verification from the collection agency in thirty days, they are obligated by law to delete the item from your credit report. Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove collections off your credit report. You can either negotiate with the collectiona agency or dispute it to the credit bureaus.

Your credit score is 563 and you just paid off 4 collection charges on your credit report how will that effect your credit score?
Not much other than having the collection marked from unpaid to paid. If you are paying off credit collection companies, negotiate to get a letter from them telling you that the amount you are paying is the balance as agreed and that they will remove it from your credit report. Do not pay until you get that letter. If you pay without doing that, it will stay on your credit report for about 3 years depending on when the collection was first put on your credit report. The fact that you paid it already just says on your credit report that instead of unpaid the collection is marked as paid. If you already paid either repair your credit or get a reputable firm in the BBB who has a money-back guaranteed policy.

If you close out some of your credit card accounts and continue to pay them off will that increase your credit score?
You should not close a credit card if you are still paying on it. It will bring your credit score down. Close it when you are done paying. I know this because my mom owns her own credit repair/management business and she tells me what to do with my credit cards.
How do I get false accounts off my credit?
False accounts, otherwise called "Mixed Files", get put on to a person's credit report due to the search engine algorithm that is used by the credit bureaus to ensure everything belonging to that person is in the credit report. The requirement for something to be connected with your name and file are set very low. You need to send a dispute letter to the bureaus explaining that this is not your account and you want it removed. Unfortunately, you may need to send more letters since the bureaus are not really anxious to remove this from their files and the creditor or collection companies just want it reporting and conduct a poor investigation, (if they truly investigate it at all). This is why a good credit repair company can be more effective in getting things removed. As a credit repair company we go after them very aggressively, and, if necessary, turn the matter over to attorneys specializing in this part of the law.
