Time is not the real solution to improving credit, although it does make some of the issues go away. To do this, obtain a full copy of your credit report. From there, look at your accounts and your payment history. Make sure that from now on you make payments on time, with no lates. Pay down all accounts so that you are not using all the money available to you to borrow. If you have good, paid accounts, do not close them: you need at least four of these. Make sure that you also pay housing and utilities on time.

How long will your credit be bad after a home foreclosure?

The damage to your credit score and how fast it recovers depends greatly on the rest of your credit history. Someone who has no other issues will rebound faster than someone who had other late payments or a lower score to begin with. If the foreclosure is the only issue, the score should begin to rise within a few months and may slowly recover to pre-foreclosure leves over the next couple years. The score is separate from the actual foreclosure reporting as a derogatory item as far as obtaining new credit. It is possible to have an acceptable or good FICO score with a dated foreclosure on your credit and still not be able to get credit because of the derogatory item. The foreclosure itself will report for 7 years but it's impact on your score will less as time goes by.
