Building or improving your credit score will take some time. However, there are some things you can do that may give your score a quick boost.

It is your legal right to obtain one free credit report every year from the three credit bureaus through annualcreditreport.com. Before entering any personal information, make sure that you are on a secure computer (such as your personal home computer). Check that the information on your credit report is correct. If you find information that you believe is not correct, contact the company that issued the account or the credit reporting company that issued the report.
