  Having bad credit can be stressful and annoying. It's one of the main stumbling blocks to a successful life. Bad credit makes it difficult to take advantage of any financial opportunities that arise. But a few easy steps can help you repair your credit and guard it in the future.
  
  To improve your credit rating, set up an installment account. Open an installment account that you can pay for and make sure to keep an affordable monthly minimum on it. Your FICO score will rise over time, if you responsibly manage this type of account.
  
  Pay down your debt. One thing creditors will look at is what your total debt is in relation to your income. If your debt levels are unusually high for your income, your credit score will suffer. It's not easy for most people to immediately pay debt off, so the best way to do it is to devise a plan and follow it.
  
  If your credit card has a balance of over 50% of your limit, it should be your number one priority to pay it off until the balance is under 50%. Any time you exceed 50% of your credit limit, your credit rating is affected. Pay off credit cards as fast as you can, or spread the debt out further.
  
  Begin the process of credit repair by trying to pay down your credit card balances as fast as you can. It is a toss up as far as which cards are best to pay off first - some choose ones with the highest interest rate, others choose the card with the lowest balance. By doing this, you will show your creditors that you are trustworthy with your credit.
  
  If you want to increase your credit score, apply for a new loan and pay the balance off quickly. It helps you get back into good standing, and shows that you are acting more responsibly.
  
  Managing various forms of credit properly will help improve your overall credit. These varying types are all a part of the calculation of your credit score. You can raise your credit score along with paying them promptly by having to pay various types of credit, like credit cards, mortgages, or auto loans.
  
  You can improve your credit by making your payments on time, every month. If this is all you can afford, pay the minimum balance. You can hurt your credit by having only one missed payment.
  
  If you don't want to pay too much at a time, you can avoid paying higher interest rates than you started with. Creditors trying to charge more from you than what they originally loaned you plus a reasonable amount of interest are usually willing to negotiate. Although, in reality, you did agree in advance to pay any interest charges incurred. You need to be able to prove the interest rates are too high if you want to sue your lenders.
  
  If you follow the tips in this article, you will see positive results in building your credit score back up. You do, of course, need to keep plugging away and pay your bills on time every month. It's definitely possible to repair your credit, so don't worry and get going!
