How can I quickly improve my credit score?

You can’t. Scores take forever to rise.

Miss a payment: it sticks with you seven years. Leave a balance on your credit: closer to max, worse the score. Try for too much credit too fast: also bad.

The credit game must be played well. Otherwise, it can punish. Extremely.
 
Pay on time. Every time.

Check your credit report for wrong info. Pay off collections. Get a credit card. Pay it off each month.

Doing this raised my score 100 points in 3 months.

It takes time. Stay on top of it.
 
Call your credit cards and see if you can get them to bump up your credit limit! Just don’t use the cards more! That’ll increase your debt to credit ratio. Paying off more of your cards will help too, but that takes longer!
