For any personal credit related concerns I recomment a website that I know has many very good answers to even the toughest questions. It is an 'ask' site directly on Experian's website which is hosted by Maxine Sweet, the V.P. of Public Affairs for Experian. You can get to the site from the following link: http://www.experian.com/ask_max/index.html The only way your spouse's credit would affect your score is that you have joint, co-signed or authorized accounts together. Any accounts that the two of you hold jointly are the legal liability of both of you, regardless of marital status. Improving the score involves the same type of activities: Paying accounts on time, proper use of revolving accounts, clearing off any inaccurate and obsolete data.
