I just purchased a truck after totaling my car ( I paid cash for it). When I went into the place to buy a new truck, the guy there told me my credit score was 465. I got a credit report for 29.95 and it said it was 565 online. How could it have gone so low within a few days? Also... What are some ways to improve my credit? I have never had a credit card, and the few installment accounts I have had were defaulted on. What should I do to regain control and be able to raise my score? Tips? Tricks?
