You need to work on getting at least three open lines of credit and make all your payments on time. It will take time but the sooner you start rebuilding credit the better, Remember no credit hurts you just as bad as bad credit. Often people who have a foreclosure start paying cash for everything. That will not help rebuild your credit.

You should continue paying your other debts/bills on time.
Try to pay down credit cards.
Check credit report for any errors. Dispute any mistakes that you find.
Good luck with improving your credit. It is not going to happen overnight, but if you stay focused and you control your spending habbits, you will see improvements soon.
