Raising credit scores for young potential investors?

For those here. I have a friend with a credit score of about 580 or so. Can't remember the exact number but she is wondering about ways she can raise it up quickly. I've never had a credit score below high 600's or so so I'm s little lost on how to help. I'm young and she is about the same age(23/24). I recommended a credit card that she can keep up with to gradually improve over the next few months but idk. I don't see any other way. I suppose it's a good time to maybe just suggest what ways any of us young folk can use to our advantage. Thanks!

Go to Credit Nerds.  They are a credit repair company and only charge what they can get removed of your credit report.  They work with a lot investors trying to improve there credit score.  I know people who have increased there score 100 points within the first years or so.  Eric Counts does a great job helping people. It is definitely worth the money.  There is an upcharge to review your file but they prepare the letters that are sent to the credit bureaus.  It is very difficult to improve it on your own.  It will speed up the time to improve your score.
