You can qualify for secured credit cards, subprime auto loans (20-30% APR), and credit builder products. FHA mortgages possible at 500 minimum but often need 10% down and lender overlays apply.

How long does it take to improve a 500 credit score?

With consistent steps like autopay and low utilization, reach fair (580+) in 3-6 months. Good (670+) takes 12-24 months. Recent FICO updates can add 20 points faster for debt reducers.
