A 769 is a very good score. You should qualify for all the best credit card, mortgage, and auto loan rates. For example: I have a 769 credit score, and the last credit card I activated offered 0% on balance transfers and 0% on new purchases for 21 months. After 21 months the remaining balance will then be only 11.90%, which is much lower than the 20%+ that many average credit consumers are forced to pay. Your good credit score allows you to pay less in interest and will save you thousands of dollars over your life time.
You have to have a open active account in order to get a credit score increase.

Well there is no such thing as a blacklist. When you pay your bills on time your credit score maintains a good rating (score of 800 I THINK is perfect) although the score range varies depending upon the credit reporting agency. When you are late with payments your score declines, indicating higher risk. Your score will decline FASTER than it will increase... SO... If you a late on a single payment you may loose say 20 points on your score. To gain those 20 points back could take 6 - 10 months. After bankruptcy your score COULD go up from where it was PRE bankruptcy, depending upon how low it was at that time. This does not mean you have good credit at all. After bankruptcy it will generally take about 2 years before you can start getting credit again. When you do this will be high risk credit so limits will be low (buying power) and your interest rates will be high. As time goes on; generally another 2-3 years your limits will start increasing and your interest rates will go down.
