There are really very few things people can do to “fix” credit due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act since it say’s that all derogatory accounts show for 7-years from the date of first delinquency and as long as the information is true and correct it can not be removed.

The exceptions are bankruptcy’s (10-years), student loans (until they are paid), tax liens (15-years) and judgments (either 7-years or whenever the statute of limitations runs out whichever is longer).

So the best thing people can do is pay their bills on time and never carry a balance on credit cards if they can help it and if not at least never exceed 30% of their limits. This will establish a good pay history which is 35% of your score plus keep your debt to credit ratio low which makes up another 30% of your score.

As far as time is concerned credit scores are 90% based on the last 24-months of activity.
