Pay your bills off completely. Cancel all your credit cards except one. Charge $100 a month and pay the bill in full every month. This should raise your score by 100 points over 2 years.

Pay all your debts (set up payment plans with the involved companies), and continue paying you current bills on time. Your credit should be fine in six months

Go to a credit counselor, who will work with you to pay off your debts within your budget. He/she may contact your creditors to negotiate a payment schedule and get them off your back. But you must be willing to pay off your debts and live within your budget, which may be tight for a while.

Before you work with anyone, check them out to see they are reliable, recognized in your state/province, and they will not just add to your indebtedness.

You do not fix bad credit, you re-establish good credit.

Start with 2 credit cards and charge everyday things be careful never to exceed 30% of your credit limit and pay in full before the due date.

This should raise your score at least 100 points over a 24 month period.

Then you can start on your installment credit with a car, furniture or personal loan.
