My credit score is 667. Is that good or bad? If bad, what can i do to fix it?

667 is ok at best. You really want 700+

It doesn%26#039;t take long for short term changes like account balances, payments, and available credit to show up on your credit report and effect your score -- likely these are the things to have impact over the short term, and you have a better change of fixing your score if you try to address one of those issues, which you can do easily in a matter of weeks.

When you%26#039;re trying to build a solid credit score it%26#039;s important to get a comprehensive view of what is actually effecting it...

Your Credit Score (also known as your MyFico score) is calculated with the following breakdown:

* 35% -%26gt; History of Payments

* 30% -%26gt; Debt to Credit Ratio (available credit)

* 15% -%26gt; Credit History (length of open accounts)

* 10% -%26gt; New Credit (are you expanding your credit)

* 10% -%26gt; Credit Types in Use (varied credit types from loans to credit cards)

If you excel in one area and lack in another, only fixing the areas which you lack are going to improve your score.

Here are my 10 steps you can use to build your credit score quickly. I raised mine to well over 700 points fro 500 using these steps in less than a year:

1. Know and Track Your Credit Score (be sure to sign up for the free trial of your credit score monitoring listed below. It really helped my get my score up.)

2. Never Miss a Payment, Starting Today

3. Never use more than 20% of your Available Credit

4. Keep Credit Cards that Have No Annual Fees Open For as Long as Possible

5. Extend Your Credit Limit on Cards You Already Have before You Get New Ones

6. Get Credit Cards that Have CashBack Rewards to Contribute to your Balance

7. Transfer Your Balance to a Credit Card with a Lower Interest Rate and a Higher Available Credit-

8. If You Think You Are Going to be FORCED to Pay a Bill Late Ask for an Extension or Payment Plan

9. Take out a Small Personal Loan and Repay it Over a Year

10. Ask Someone With Good Credit if They will Account Shadow you

Only have one credit card. The more credit cards you have open, the lower your score will be. Also, do as FEW credit checks as possible...this also lowers your score. In order to increase your score, simply pay all your bills on time...it takes a few years to get it high.

It%26#039;s not too bad actually. Do you know what is on your credit report? That would be a start on what to fix. Anything that says over 30 days, collections, etc is what you need to fix. Good luck!!
