Im working on repairing my credit. I got a copy of my credit report and managed to pay off most of my debts.?

Question by Saint: Im working on repairing my credit. I got a copy of my credit report and managed to pay off most of my debts.?
After this last payment I will only have one negative thing on my report. I heard that applying for a secured credit card is the way to go? How long does it take for my score to improve after paying the debts off? Should I wait to apply for a card? Or does anyone know an easier way to improving my score after paying my debts? My credit score is around 550. Any advice is greatly appreciated…

You can go to these places that give you like 6 month or year loans and take one out. Don’t use the money put it a way in the bank or somewhere. Make two or three months of payments on it. Then go get another loan at a diffrent place for a little more this time. Take that money and pay off the other loan and put the rest in the bank. Pay this one for a month or so and do the samething. Get the thrid loan for a little more than the second and pay off the second one. Then turn around and pay that last loan off when the first payment comes do. I know a guy and he said this brought his score up pretty fast. Just don’t take the money out and spend it and end up with all thesse bills again. With a score of 550 it shouldn’t be to hard to bring it up pretty fast. I think it takes 30 days to show as paid after you pay it off if you have something on your credit. All so make sure they take it off. I paid something one time off on my credit then like 2 years later I go to get something and they still showed unpaid. So I had to call them again. Good luck.
