    Ideas to increase my FICO Score
    I am re-establishing my credit I'm 2 years out of a Chapter 7 discharged in 2008. Looking for ideas to re-establish my credit and increase my FICO score. I do have a car recently purchased that's reporting to the credit bureaus. Besides paying off a few stray items I still have owing what else can I do?

    Any advise or ideas is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Apply for a credit card, do not check your score any further for the present, that can lower your score.
