Absolutely. There isn't one universal fix because it depends on what's actually hurting your credit, but there is a pretty straightforward process I recommend.

Start by pulling all three credit reports and reviewing them line by line. Make a list of every negative or inaccurate item, including late payments, collections, charge-offs, utilization, and accounts that don't belong to you.

Then prioritize the issues rather than trying to fix everything at once. Dispute information that is genuinely inaccurate, bring any past-due accounts current where possible, work on lowering revolving utilization, and avoid applying for unnecessary new credit while you're rebuilding.

Keep documentation of every dispute and communication, and check your reports regularly to make sure corrections are actually reflected
