when is it that Allah (sw) accepts repentance?
He accepts it if it meets the following conditions:
You must admit the guilt, knowing the prohibition of the act you have done.
You ought to feel remorseful for your sinful deeds. This indicates that, from the bottom of your heart, you feel sorry for that mistake.
If a person happens to be the victim of wrong actions, compensation must be made, i.e., a person robbed of his property, for instance, must be indemnified, either through restitution in integral or by paying back for damages. Thus, to prevent dissension and dispute, peoples rights huquq-l-`ibaad (rights of Gods servants) must be settled.
You must make resolution that you will never look back, i.e. you must enter into a sincere covenant with God that you have completely closed those dark pages, and that you will never open them again.
And, of course, you must pray to Allah for forgiveness
If the Muslim achieves all these conditions, then repentance will be accepted inshaAllah, without punishment on the Day of Judgment.
A good advice, to help you maintain your tawbah (repentance) firmly, is to spend time with good people. This will help you act properly, according to ethics that pleases God, as well as maintaining His obedience. Any Muslim should choose good Muslim friends and good people to socialize with. So try to focus on going to the masjid (mosque), reading Qur'an every day, attending Islamic classes and be away from any company that does not remind you of Allah. Increase your optional salat (prayer), siyam (fasting) and paying sadaqah (charity) as much as you can.
It is never too late for a true Muslim to repent and go back to Allah. It is never too late to shed tears for the wrongs one has committed. Always keep in mind that Allah (sw) is more merciful than we expect. Whatever sins a Muslim might have done, are really nothing if compared to Allahs encompassing mercy. So, all previous mistakes will not be recorded as long as repentance meets the conditions of sincerity
