In order to build up credit and establish a good credit, you must show a number of stabilizing attributes. Most notably, your report must prove to the lender that he will get his money back. Here are some suggestions:
OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT
Open a bank account and use it responsibly. This is the first step in establishing a financial history.
CO-SIGN
One way is to piggy-back onto someone who already has a good credit history established and is willing to co-sign. Once the co-signing has occurred, you simply make payments on or before the due date. In time you will have established a credit history.
SECURED CREDIT CARD
Apply for a credit card. Shop around and only apply for a card if you can meet the lender's requirements. Responsible use (spending within your budget and paying your bill on time) will help you build a good credit history.
DEPARTMENT AND GASOLINE CREDIT CARDS
Since gasoline credit cards are not revolving (cannot carry a balance forward month-to-month), often they are easier to obtain than regular credit cards. Similarly, some department stores offer revolving credit for a specific purchase and this is sometimes easier to establish. It is also a great way to establish credit.

get your credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com if there's bad stuff or wrong stuff just dispute it. the credit bureaus (each of them) must be contacted with the dispute and they will "verify" the validity. they have a set amt of time to verify the facts and report back otherwise the law says they must delete it. I think the credit fix places just dispute the bad stuff if it's true or not to get it off your credit.

Really, the only way to fix credit is get payments back on track and time. There are no magic fixes.

Yes there is. You can do what they call debt consolidation. They take everything and add it up to one monthly payment.
