I have a low credit score (>600) and am trying to increase my score. I have 9 accounts in collection, all medical bills. Should I focus on resolving these accounts or does it not matter at this point? I also have an auto loan that is just about paid off. I am also considering a credit card that I've been approved for to start building good credit. I would like to know which areas I should focus on. Thanks.
