500 FICO SCORE!

I know it is bad, i am finally growing up and realize how terrible the affect of being young and carefree is.  I have a good job and am more stable.  I don't have much debt anymore.  I did pay off a bunch in chunks about 3 months ago, basically settling depts, now i realize that may have not been a good idea.
 
What is the best and fastest ways to get my score to increase.  I am 32 and feel like i will never be able to own a home.
 
Should I attempt to get new credit and make sure I pay on time ?
 
What basically screwed me up is not paying my bills on time. 
 
Any guideness or help is much appreciated.
 
Thanks.

You want a PFD for unpaid collections.
