If you pay your card with the $400 limit down to zero (and don't increase the balance on your other card), you'll get a nice boost for:

--Reducing your overal util%

--No longer having a card that's close to maxed out

--Having a zero balance on one of your cards.

If that balance going from 0 to $300 was the only thing that changed when your score dropped 14 points, then paying it back to zero will probably get you back all of those points.

From what I understand your utilization is MOST of you score... I mean, doesn't it make sense?? Geez.... wouldn't it be nice if the HIGHER UTIL meant higher score hahaha

Utilization is 30% of your FICO score.   That is a big chunk, but it is not most.

i just tryna test out the system.......well i probably paid it off soon but the thing is the bill is not going to report until the end of the month...so.......i might not know my score until next month but will keep you all update.........didnt know about 20% out of 26% over all utili would drop my score that much since i paid everything in full.....
