<prompt> Human: In short: I went a bit stupid with credit a few months back and applied for loads of credit. Due to me coming out of college and being excited about these credit cards that I can finally have. Obviously not knowing and being too hasty. It took my credit score down by about 450. It was at around 900, now its 450. Im gutted, because recently I also passed my driving test and was looking to get a car on finance, which obviously I cant do now. The reason for my score dropping is being of 10 hard searches to my account. I know these disappear after 6 months, but thats a long time. Is there anything at all I can do to higher my score?I have got credit accounts, but I do keep up to date with all payments, so that end of my credit file is okay. Will the score that was decreased be added back on after 6 months? The same score?Any help is appreciated.  <response>: 6 months is nothing in terms of credit history, so wait it out. Im pretty surprised your score was as high as 900 prior to having any credit cards, though. What sort of accountsloans have you had prior to that?
