I’m working on raising my credit score…I have a few credit cards and have paid off one completely. Does your credit score raise immediately or does it take time? How long?

About a third of your score is based on the ratio of credit card debt to limit. Carrying balances of 30% hurts your score; 50% takes a big bite; 90% kills your score. As you pay off your overall credit card balances below those percentages, your score will improve.
