How to improve credit rating (FICO or similar scores) if i had defaulted a credit card in the past? I was offered a student card from citibank, around 4 years back. I was careless, the card maxed out. I ran out of money to pay off the accumulated debit and thus, defaulted. It was a small credit limit of 12k rupees ($300 I suppose). I never paid nor applied for any more cards later. I don't want a bad credit-score, and will need one or two credit cards someday: atleast for online transactions. So, what do i do? paying the bank now, will it help?

Thank you for any suggestions!

How to build or repair credit score? I'm 19 and sort of have bad credit already b/c when I tried to get an apartment for college I was rejected so instead had to get one in my parents' name. Sometimes I would pay payments early, but other times I would just totally forget about it and not pay and then I be charged interest..this has been going off and on. So, I have a few questions.. -In order to build my credit score, is it possible to just withdraw less than 30% or so from my credit line from the ATM then when it gets near the payment due date I can just pay off that entire withdrawal amount then repeat? -How long does it take to repair bad credit?....like years? Would I have to pay off credit card payments consistently for many years in order to repair my credit rating? -What's the fastest and most efficient way to repair/build credit?...And how long would it take?...Would cutting my credit card up right now and just stop using it until I graduate from college and get a job repair and/or build my credit? THanks!
