Is there any way I can build up / repair my american credit score if I am living overseas?

I am a foreign national, living in the EU. I lived in the US for a year last year and I think there might have been one or two late /unpaid medical bills etc. I plan to go back to the US permanently in a couple of years time. Is there any way I can build up my US credit score while I am overseas...?

1. i'm not sure if the u.s. system is the same as the u.k.,but this is what i would do:- take out one or two credit u.s. credit cards and maybe get a mobile phone on contract. use the cards fairly regularly but keep the balances reasonably low. make sure you pay at least the minimum amount every month.use the phone in the same way - make a few calls a month and pay the bill.in the u.k. this would at least help to repair your credit score.hope this helps
2. use credit cards for American catalogs that ship to EU, and pay them promptly... I am not 100% if that would work, but just a suggestion...will not happen over nt, but over some time..
