So much information, I am lost and desperately need help!

Okay long story short, I have been a complete idiot when I was younger and messed up my credit score pretty bad, never really needed a good one per say since I had a nice car, and paid for cash with everything else. However, Im starting to look at buying some property and my score is horrendous. I will list what is negative and hopefully you guys can help me out with the steps I should take or any advice. I've looked on the forums and I am lost with all the information. I apperciate any and all help!

Re: So much information, I am lost and desperately need help!

First step is to make sure you've got a couple of open, active, revolving accounts established. All the repair work in world won't get your scores up if there's no positives to lift it. Get yourself a couple of secured credit cards - no need to tie up a ton of money, $300 each would be sufficient. If you're still a member of NFCU, thats where I would start.
