I have been very irresponsible most of my young adult life. never paid my bills, always ignoring debt collector's. the past 6 months i have been practicing good spending and paying my bills, joined a credit union, and so on, really helped that i went from making $20k/year to $60-80k/year starting 05/2015 my credit score in 03/2015 was 470s-480s range. according to CreditKarma at the time i thought best way to boost credit is get as much as possible and make payments each month on time boy was i wrong. after 1-2 months it went from 470s then to 580s (Credit Karma) i also had 2 collections fall off. i thought awesome should be at 600s in a few months iam wanting buy a house in 01/16-02/16
i need to move closer to my work and was going to rent but to rent anywhere near my work for my family size is $1,200-1600/month i would rather just buy a house instead of throwing my money away on rent. i need my credit score to be at 620-650 by January is it possible
