1. Pay your bills on time and in full each month.
2. Keep your credit utilization rate low.
3. Don't open too many new accounts at once.
4. Check your credit report regularly for any errors or discrepancies.
5. Consider getting a secured credit card if you need access to credit but don't want to risk damaging your credit score by applying for an unsecured card.
