In general, the answer is no, you can't change it quickly. If you could, everyone would do it, making credit bureau reports worthless. Lenders want to see reliable performance over time, not one good event. As for hiring "experts", don't do it. As I said, there is no quick fix, so nobody can sell you one, although some will try. What gets sold as a "credit repair service" falls into three categories: (1) things that don't really work; (2) things that are fraudulent and therefore illegal, like using a second social security number; (3) things that you can do yourself for free, like get a free credit bureau report and send dispute letters for errors. Good luck with your schooling.<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s hard to say what to do, since you don’t say what kind of credit you have now.

In general, the answer is no, you can’t change it quickly. If you could, everyone would do it, making credit bureau reports worthless. Lenders want to see reliable performance over time, not one excellent event.

Excellent luck with your schooling.
