You are in an unfortunate situation. However, credit is one of those things that can be repaired over time. It does take some time however and is not an overnight thing. There are lots of companies out there that engaged in the business of credit repair. I suggest googling on the internet "credit repair" and several companies should come up. You can call them for a free consultation and they are generally very happy to work with you to improve your credit. That is where i would begin. I would also make sure that you are timely paying all your bills to avoid any late payments being registered. Also, be cautious about how many times you let people run your credit score.
