using a credit card sensibly improves your rating.
If you must have a credit card use it sensibly, pay it off in time and in full where possible.
Get a copy of your credit file and chexk for any inaccuracies.
Taking out credit and paying it back is how you improve your "rating"- there isn't such a thing as a "rating", the credit reference agencies simply use the information they hold against a set of criteria that the lender provides. Most lenders will use information they hold about you more than information provided by credit reference agencies.
