There is no fast and easy answer to this question. The time it will take to repair your credit is completely dependent upon your unique personal situation and the factors that went into bringing your score down. Depending on the seriousness of these factors and how severely they impacted your credit, it can take anywhere from several months, to many years to fix credit. One or two late payments can be rectified more quickly and easily than 10 consecutive months of late payments, or a bankruptcy filing, for instance.
When it comes to a timetable for fixing credit items that are negatively affecting your score, there are some general guidelines to note, however. A consecutive history of late payments and collection accounts can stay on your credit report for up to seven years, while more complicated matters and those of public record, such as unpaid tax liens and Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, can stay on your report for up to 10 years. In general, less serious negative items on your credit report will affect your score less over time.
