Question

My credit score is only 563 and I need 620. I have old debts from 5 years ago if I pay will it help my score?

Answer 1

Paying off old debt and staying current on new ones will improve your credit rating, but it will take time.

BTW, there are other reasons you should be paying off 5 year old debts other than for your credit score.

Answer 2

You can use credit repair agency to fix your credit - for example this one - http://creditreport.fateback.com - They can clean lots of bad stuff from your credit report - and do it much faster than yourself, so your credit will go up fast.

Answer 4

of course it will. you also may consider writing to the credit bureaus like experian, transunion, or equifax and request a copy of your credit. after you pay your debt send proof to the bureaus and they will update your credit alot quicker, your score will go up faster. good luck!

Answer 5

Probably not.  In another 2 years the old debts will drop off your credit file. If you want to increase your credit score. Just get a small loan for 24 months and pay it back it 12.

Answer 6

To raise your credit score you need to do two things:

1 - add positive things to your credit records.  Such as paying your bills on time!

2 - Remove negative things from your records.  These may be mistakes made by the credit report companies or bills you haven’t paid!
