Significant reduction in a credit limit sending utilization soaring.  (or a late pay hit)

Re: Guess the cause of my score drop

Many people pointed to utilization. Think utlization could cause such a huge damage? Cat Wink

 

I'll drop another hint:

 

Hint #2: my utilization right now is around 40%. Smiley Happy

Re: Guess the cause of my score drop

Too many cards with balances? 

Is no one correct yet? I would have guessed a baddie or rebucketing, for something stupid like your last inquiry is now a year old, so you are not seeking credit, therefore rebucketing yoU, or your last baddie falling off and now you are being thrown into the bucket with the blemish free folks.
