The only real solution is to get a copy of your credit report. First, pay any outstanding collections or judgements. Next, catch up any payments that are currently past due. Next, make sure everything on the report is accurate and dispute anything that is not.
Other than that. Maintain PERFECT pay history, and the rest will just take time.
