First, look at the items you are showing on the report that you are aware of and paying regularly. Do you make timely payments? If so, is the account in good standing? If so, move on to the next item. If not, take a moment to evaluate the account and see what you can do to bring the account up to date and get it in good standing.

Second, take a look at the bad accounts. Those accounts that you knew were in bad standing and you just havent had a chance to pay off. Call the creditor and ask them for more information. Be sure that all of your payments were recorded and if they were not, ask them to update your credit records. See what you can do to bring the account current.
