Don't open new credit cards, keep your existing ones open, pay your bills on time.

Pay all bills on time and don't borrow too much. |

Lots of credit searches (the notes left on your file when you apply for things) in a short space of time hurts your score. Space out applications, not just for credit but for car insurance, mobile phones and others, as all can leave searches on your file.
Moving house also disrupts a score, so make important applications pre-moving. Plus you'll score better when you're earning, so if you're about to take time off, go on maternity leave or suspect potential redundancy apply beforehand.
If you're just trying to get a specific quote for a loan, ask the lender to do a ‘quotation search' and not a ‘credit search'. This means the enquiry won't have a negative impact on your credit score.
Home owners rather than renters, and those who are employed rather than self-employed, tend to score more highly. Putting a fixed (land) line rather than a mobile number on application forms can help with security checks and improve your chances. Being with the same employer, bank and current address for a while all help too.
Access to too much credit, even if it isn't used, can be a problem. If you have a range of unused credit cards, cancel most of them; this lowers your available credit and should help.
Credit scoring tries to predict your behaviour. As if you've no credit history it's more difficult for lenders to do this, you're more likely to be rejected.
If you can't get credit, sadly the solution is apply for hideous 30%-ish rate credit cards offered by the likes of Monument, the Associates, Barclaycard and Capital One – who offer special ‘high-risk' cards alongside their normal ones.
Use these for 6 months to a year, spending a little every month but strictly repay in full, so there's no interest cost. After that you should've built a credit history allowing you to move into the mainstream. This tactic is also useful for those who've defaulted in the past.
Always try to follow at least the minimum repayment plan for your financial products. Even if you're struggling, don't default or miss payments. Doing this once or twice will cause problems that can cost you for years. |

close all unnecessary credit cards (keep one major one for good credit)
keep zero balances
opt out
pay all bills on time
don't apply for credits a lot
Your score is actually average to good. opting out will help you NOT receive unnecessary credit offers, which lessons their ability to randomly check your credit, which lowers your scores. |

Keep paying on time all the time...after 6 months of this..your score will go up every month provided you dont keep charging too much. |

Only time and continuing to pay all your bills on time will improve your credit.
It's a timely process. There is no "quick good credit" |

You don't necessarily want to close your credit accounts. A big part of your score is your credit utilization. This is simply a calculation of how much credit you are using divided by how much credit you have available. It can look bad if you have $10,000 in credit available but if you are using $5000 of it, your credit utilization is 50%. If you close accounts you're not using then you only have $5000 in available credit but your credit utilization is now 100%. This makes creditors think you're using every scrap of credit you have, which can be a red flag. The best way to handle closing accounts is to close a few and leave some open, and always leave the oldest accounts open. If you got a VISA 10 years ago, even with a low limit, never close that. You could even increase the limit because it's a good credit to have. Close newer accounts. Just don't apply for too many cards because that makes you look like a high risk. |

Make more than minimum payments towards your credit cards will help, as well as paying them off. Also, pay your debts on time and do not allow more than 3 or 4 credit score inquiries per year. Believe or not having more than 10 inquiries per year really lowers the score. |
