💳 CREDIT CHEAT SHEET — READ & SAVE 💳
This is your quick, simple guide to understanding credit and fixing it the RIGHT way.
📌 1. What Makes Your Score Go Up or Down
Your credit score is made of 5 parts:
🟩 35% — Payment History
Pay EVERYTHING on time. Late payments hurt the most.
🟦 30% — Utilization
Keep your credit card balances under 10% for best results.
🟨 15% — Age of Credit
The older your accounts, the better your score.
🟪 10% — Credit Mix
A mix of:
  • Credit cards
  • Installments (Self, CreditStrong, loans)
  • Auto, mortgage (optional)
🟥 10% — Inquiries
Too many hard pulls lowers your score temporarily.
📌 2. How to Build Credit FAST
Add the “Big 4”:
✔ Credit Strong
✔ Self Lender
✔ Rental Reporting (Rental Kharma/RentReporters)
✔ Kikoff or Ava
These give you primary accounts, the most powerful type.

  1. Dispute negative items
