I wish someone would have told me when I was younger all the things that would affect my credit score, and how important that is!!! So here's my story...I moved out of an apartment before my lease expired, and I was charged aproximately $5k, which was rent for the remainder of my lease. I didn't pay it, so it went to collections and was reported to all 3 bureau's. In addition to that, I had about $2k more debt (medical) that also went to collections. I recently took out an auto loan (against a truck I already own) to pay off this debt, plus some other expenses that came up without warning. So, how long will it take for my credit score to improve now that my debts are settled? I have 3 credit cards that are paid on time (in full) every month, and my auto loan will be paid on time every month. The only other credit history I have is an auto loan that is paid in full (all payments were made on time). Currently my credit score is 545, I would like to see it in the 600's ASAP!
