I am a 22 year old college student that just started foucsing on my credit. My father committed fraud by using my SSN, yea poor lillte me a victim of fraud. However, I am cleaning up the conflict by disputing them and providing all information I can to prove it wasnt me. Futhermore, what are some small things I can do while in college to up my credit score, so that I can get low interest rate on a home and car when I graduate.

You are doing the right thing by disputing items that don't belong to you. Apart from that you can do the following to maintain and improve your score.

- Do not rack up debt
- Don't be late on your bills
- Try to manage your debt at 35% of your income
- Use your credit cards cautiously
- Avoid getting too many credit inquiries in your report
