To Repair credit score
Your credit score is based mostly on:
1. Length of credit history
2. Payment history.
3. Ratio of credit used to available credit.
4. Number of credit inquiries you authorized.
If you cancel your card, you'll be hurting your credit ratio. (#3).
You want to deliberately keep your oldest credit card open, even if you never use it.
You want to always pay the minimums of each loan on time every month.
You want to keep your available credit high, but actually only have balances equalinig 25% or less.
You want to keep your credit inquiries to a minimum. Try for no more than 3 or 4 per year for any type of loans.
You do these things and your credit score will quickly soar into the 700s.

I was able to get to 595 from 489 in just one day and from 489 to 748 in just a few week; that's pretty fast in my book. Good luck!

Pay your bills on time and pay down the credit cards.
You can also go back to old debt and make settlement arrangements. Depending on how old, you might be able to settle for half or less. Be sure to get any settlement agreement in writing and get the creditor to agree to mark the debt paid -- you can try to get them to remove it but don't count on that.

The best method is to pay your bills on time, and try and pay down the debt while doing so.
