Pay your credit cards down at least 50% off the credit limit. Example: Discover card with a credit limit of $1,000.00 and you maxed this out. Pay $500.00 on this account = 50% of the credit limit. This will increase your score within the 30 days of this transaction. Make sure that you do not pay off an account in full and close it. This will hurt your more then help you. Settle and collection accounts that you might have.
