I had fairly good credit considering my age and situation, until I was arrested June of 18 and not released till December of 18. Upon release my credit has gone to crap. What is my best or top options here for recovering my credit now 2months after release since I just started my job.
Thank you!

      That Is a messed up sitch. First thing I would do is get the lowest interest rate card you can find, (some banks offer student low interest cards with low balances.) and have some little things on re-occurring payments. Like cell-phone bill, smaller snacks, and things, (ONLY THINGS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE PAID FOR IN CASH OTHERWISE) and just keep paying it down to 0 everytimè. Itll jump back up Soo fast.
