Neither is good, but both can be improved. Having no credit can make it difficult to be accepted for any type of credit, bad credit means at best the credit offered is going to be more expensive. To assist either situation you need to show a good record of using and paying off credit responsibly . . . no late or missed payments and overpaying where possible (targeting the most expensive debt you have or consolidating smaller debts is usually a good tactic).

To gain a credit rating (for example if you are young and haven't used credit before, or are new to a country) then using a small but manageable amount of credit (and repaying this off in full each month) will be a good way to build your rating. Also ensure that you are signed up to the electoral role in your area - this helps financial agencies keep track of you and improves the chances that you will be positively rated.
