You have to prove to creditors and lenders that you’re not at risk of defaulting on new credit obligations if you’re having trouble getting approved for new accounts. Start by taking care of past due accounts and debt collections. Creditors will remove the account from your credit report in exchange for payment if you can negotiate a pay for delete, but paying the account will benefit your creditworthiness even without this deletion. Start building a positive payment history by making timely payments on your accounts going forward.
