It is always good to have various different types of credit so more then just credit cards. Also if you pay off your cards that will help as well. If you do not have a car loan I would suggest getting a car if you really want or need one to add a different type of credit to your file. Make sure you pay on time is a given and maybe one more card or a credit line increase might help depending on what your income to debt ratio is.
