How can I increase my credit score rapidly?

1. Pay off all your debt. Worked for me!
2. The only possible quick fix is to request copies from the top three agencies and see if there are any errors on them. If there are then call to correct them. Otherwise there is no quick fix.
3. First check your report for any errors. Fix any that exist. Pay down outstanding debts and close accounts that may cause you to have too much outstanding debt. Then, make certain you pay every bill, not only on time, but early if possible so that you can make sure you don't get dinged for being late.
4. Paying off non-delinquent debts will decrease your score. Your score can only be improved by going into debt. It is an "I love debt score". The higher it is, the stupider you are. No matter what you do, it will take time to increase your score. Nothing happens overnight in the finance world.
5. The trick question here is "rapidly", there isn't any. You can your score by paying on time and keeping your balances at a minimum
