Building up my credit rating.

Finally paid of all my debts (Horray!)
Have been looking into my credit rating which is horrible beyond words.
I have been trying to think of ways to build my credit rating though.
First off though I have to make it clear that my rating is so bad that I can't even get a 40% credit card (*GULP*)
I have an exsisting orange contract so I'm paying that off and I have got a prepay card which I know also helps.
Are there any other ways though or is it just a long long trek to getting better?

There are credit cards that are meant for people with poor credit ratings as a means to rebuild their credit rating but the APR is horrendous!0
