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.
If your credit score is low and there arenât any errors on your report, there are several steps you can take to improve your credit score. But there is no quick fix: improving your score is largely a matter of time (so donât let it go south in the first place!). 1  Keep your credit utilization below 25%. 2  Pay down your credit cards to at most 25% of their limit. 3  Your credit utilization for each account is relevant, as well as your overall debt-to-credit ratio.
