One great way to repair or build credit fast is to get a secured VISA or MasterCard. A secured credit card is one in which you open up a savings account with the card issuing bank. This savings account is used as a security deposit for your credit card. Your credit limit is based on the amount that you deposit into the savings account. Once you have established a good record of payments on the credit card, the savings account funds are returned to you. Only use this secured credit card for gas or a few small purchases each month. When you get your bill, pay it immediately but overpay it by about $10 - $15. That way you always have a negative balance. The FICO system accelerates your credit rating quickly by doing this. Just make sure that you NEVER are late on making that payment. This method worked very well for me when I had very bad credit. After receiving my secured credit card, it took about 8 months before I was receiving pre-approved non secured VISA and MasterCard offers from large banks.

What is the difference between a mortgage credit score and a regular credit score?
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that they may be using different versions of the FICO software. The FICO score you get from myfico.com and the FICO score that a mortgage lender comes up with may be different, because Fair Isaac periodically updates the way they come up with the scores. Upgrading to the new FICO software can be expensive for lenders, so sometimes they don't do it. So they come up with a different score because they are using an older model. Since presumably the model is updated to make it more predictive, it means the lender's score is more likely to be wrong. As far as I know, however, the lender will continue to use its own score, and there is nothing you can do about this.
