Improve your credit score
Having negative items removed helps your credit profile but its equally important to have active accounts that show positive payment history. Adding primary trade lines to your credit profile and managing it well will show creditors that you are fiscally responsible; thus, lenders will view you as being low-risk. Here are several ways you can build credit.
Primary trade lines - Revolving accounts
