What’s the easiest way to repair my credit?

draw b asked:


I had good credit until I shared an apartment with someone who wouldn’t pay their half of rent/bills. In scrambling to cover their half, I neglected my own personal bills and the result was damaged credit. Most of the damage comes from unpaid student loan. Should I apply for a credit card to pay off the loan and then make sure I make payments on the credit card? Is this the best way?
