what you need to do is pay down any debt you have now to no more than 50% of your available line.make sure you pay everything on time.make sure you clear up any past issues (if they are close to 5 years, then they should be falling off soon)go to www.annualcreditreport.com and pull one of your reports and work from there. in a few months, pull another report, clear up any errors, then pull the other report a few months from there... that will get you started.you may also want to get an identity alert program that will help you monitor your score. it's available through many sources, i have mine through my bank and it includes all 3 reports and scores as well as other nifty things (credit card tracking, tips, reports, etc).
