Restoring good credit just 4 steps away

Restoring good credit is simple. The national credit score is below 700 -- the FICO score lenders want to make a home mortgage loan or a home equity loan.
You can get a higher credit score yourself if you make the effort to follow these 4 simple rules:
1. Lower your debt -- your credit score will suffer if you carry too much debt. Cut it down.
2. Pay your bills on time. Late payments hurt your credit score. And they are easy to avoid with simple planning habits.
3. Keep your credit card, home equity loan and installment loan balances low in relation to available credit.
4. Dispute errors that crop up in your credit report.
