Credit HistoryI missed a C by 2 points. My credit score is low for 3 reasons:1) My mother opened her telephone account under my name, without my permission.She stopped paying on it and left a balance of $1,215 on the account.I found out about the account once I checked my credit report!By that time (04/05), it was in collections.I called the collection agency and arranged to pay the bill myself (paid it off by '05).Now, it's noted as ?Paid? on all 3 reports, but will stay on as ?delinquent/derogatory? for a few more years. 

2) Loan and cards listed under ?Debt? have high balances (95% usage).

3) In b/w my internship and salaried position, I was off for 2 weeks.I didn't have enough income to pay my Verizon Visa Credit Card on time for June '05 & July '05.I made sure to get back on track Aug. '05 and have not missed or been late on a payment since.

Thanks for your time and consideration.
