I am now employed and ready to pay off 2 or 3 of my 4 cards. My credit score was very high and is dropping by the second. I need to have a good score in order to buy a car or a house.
My cards have already been placed with bill collectors.
And the cards were charged out from the get go.

How many credit cards should you have to rebuild credit?

Nikita pyta:
How many credit cards should you have to rebuild credit?

I am trying to rebuild my credit after ID theft, a couple of problems that were mine and years of basically not having any credit reported. (I primarily use my debit card and pay cash for everything). I make good money now and am trying to rebuild in order to purchase a condo in the next couple of years. My good accounts (rental, club, cable, cell, etc.) have not reported my good credit. So how many cards should I take out that will help boost my credit score but not hinder my credit. Thank you!
