I do not believe paying them early by a few days will help. Pay late by a couple and it will hurt however.
The best way to imporve your score that I can think of is pay down any credit cards you have to about 25% of the allowed balance. However, FICO did change their scoring rules not so long ago and I am not a credit adviser.
