Actually depending on your situation - if you've paid off items that were on collection or that brought down your score, you should ask for a letter of confirmation that the debt has been paid.
If you have creditcards, keep a running balance - make a little more than the minimum payment since this helps maintain and build your credit.
You should write to the credit bureau and provide the letters that your debts have been paid and even if they don't remove anything (in case you had a bad payment history), they will note that you no longer have that 'debt' so it should bring up your score.
