The fastest way to raise your credit score is by reducing your balance to credit ratio. For example, if you have a $5000 limit credit card, but owe $4900, that will kill your score. Reducing that balance down to 0 or even $1000, would likely cause a jump of 40+ points or more in your score.
There are a number of ways that you can improve your credit score pretty quickly. And itâs especially important to do so before applying for a loan or line of credit. But thereâs no substitute for time, on-time payments and overall responsibility when it comes to meaningful, long-term credit building.
