My chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged in June of 2018. I'd then had no debt until the beginning of last year, so my active credit history is comprised of 1 OpenSky CC with a $200 limit (using $200 collateral) that I pay off every month, and ~$30k in federal student loans. I make a little under $50k/year now (after overtime) but have minimal monthly expenses + rent under $600 and about $8k and rising in savings. I'd like to shoot for a better credit score by the middle of next year (when I plan on moving to a bigger/better apartment), but I don't know what scores are realistic to shoot for.
What I have now:
Experien 618
Transunion 638
Equifax 661
Everything looks normal on my credit report.
What can and should I do to improve my credit score within a year to year and a half? Increase the limit on my OpenSky card? Try opening another credit card? Using my credit card differently? Is it realistic to have scores of ~700 by some time next year?
