Do credit cards help rebuild credit?

Definitely.

Your more recent payment history is weighed more heavily than your older history.

If you get a new credit card and manage it properly, this will definitely help this portion of the score. Outstanding Debt - A new card would increase your outstanding debt, but part of this portion of the score is also based on your debt compared with your available balance. So, if you get a new card, try to keep from maxing it out.

Length of Credit – The longer you’ve had credit, the better for your score. A new card won’t help much here, but you need to start somewhere. Try to pick a card you will stay with for a while so you can build a good long history.

New Credit – New accounts and “hard inquiries� (ones where you have given a lender permission to pull your credit) ding your credit score a little bit in the short term. Still, if you keep the card for a little while, this negative impact here will go away.

Types of Credit – It’s good to have a variety of credit. Credit cards, car loans, home loans, etc. The more variety (as long as you keep them all current), the better.
