Late payments, accounts being closed going into collections, numerous accounts open, and parents messing up credit early on.
1. No more late payments.
2. Dispute those collections through the 3 credit agencies
3. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Are they credit cards that are maxed or close to it?
4. Dispute your parents stuff because I think there are certain laws that would protect minors, could be wrong tho.

If they are close to being max than that might be a huge part in why your score is low. Getting that utilization down will instantly boost your score.

Another quick way is to get the utilization down and then ask for a quick increase on the card. Also "snowballing" and asking for a interest rate reduction helps.

I had a credit increase on one of my cards and on the Transunion, my score jumped 25 points but on the equifax, it dropped 31 points. Everything else stayed the same. I'm befuddled :gucci:

What are some good balance transfer credit cards?

Read the fine print and tell us. Just remember never go over 20% utilization on the new card and keep your total credit utilization under 30%.

A better bet is transfer that shyt to a business card.
