Just that. I understand that if the balance due goes up it's an indication of possible credit problems. But we just came off the holidays, and I did my civic duty by spending more than usual. As it stands, my debt/credit ratio with 1 card is the same, went up with another card (although less than 30% of the available, and went down with another one (they increased my credit limit by 1/3).
I always pay at least 3x the minimum, and pay before due.
Will the FICO people who are monitoring this please explain to me HOW it is possible for scores to go up under those circumstances?
