DE nerfed the Secura Lecta but it still isn't the worst method. Form a credit farm group.. Chroma + Secura Lecta on Akkad (Eris). You can find more details about this in any of the thousand YT vids on the subject.
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Secura_LectaThen there is the Index. Which in my opinion in terms of time is the best method. Form a experienced quality group to do High Risk which nets you 200k credits.
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/The_IndexThere are also Dark Sector missions which are guaranteed credits on victory. I recommend Seimeni on Ceres (20k), easy 5 wave defense against infested. I've seen other people suggest Hieracon on Pluto which is an excavation mission. They say to start one extractor and evac after it.
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_SectorsFor icing on the cake, a credit booster will cut your farming time in half.
Edit: Another way to scrape up some credits is to sell stuff from your inventory that you have duplicates of. For example plain Oberon Blueprints like Oberon Neuroptics Blueprint sells for 3,500 each, same for chassis and systems.
