Late payments will do it, so will missed payments.

Pay your bills on time over the years and your score goes up. Hope this was helpful.

1. Get a free card

Never pay for a card, there should be many free ones on offer. If there aren't any, the card is not worth it. Remember to call to cancel your card when the free period is over. If you've used your card responsibly enough, the company is likely to waive your card fee again to retain you as a customer.

2. Set a low credit limit

It should be below your monthly budget, because you can't pay for everything in cash.

3. Set aside cash for that credit limit

You could have a separate account just to pay for the card bills, but make sure that account has sufficient funds even after paying to avoid account charges.

4. Use the card where you can get discounts

But don't spend more just because there's a discount. The whole point of cards is to earn interest by keeping money in your bank longer, and to take advantage of its discounts and privileges, not to get taken advantage of.

5. Pay your card bill on time

Late charges are crazily expensive. Never do it, it also obliterates your chances of getting a subsequent free card. Every card company loves someone with a good credit record, and this is the key to building one.

6. Ditch the card

If you can't achieve the above, or the company won't grant you further card waivers, ditch it. It's never worth getting into credit card debt, unless you don't want your life (in which case you could also do without a card).
