If your score issue caused the closure and that was an incorrect credit score I would escalate the concern and have them resolve it... but they would most likely require a pull on your credit to ensure the score issue was simply a mistake and not actually correct. Good luck!
To my knowledge, reason for card closure has nothing to do with the FICO algorithm. Also if the lender initiates the close for any reason typically it will be "closed by credit grantor," but that in and of itself isn't a huge negative as it's really pretty common. Usually the negative leading up to the closure (if it was AA) will be readily apparent to any future UW looking at the card.
The likely reasons for the drop:
- As someone stated, probably affected revolving utilization numbers, or possibly the ratio of number of cards showing a balance.
- Dropped the aggregate number of open revolving tradelines past some threshold (2 we think), if there's only one card on a report that generally appears to be a straight negative as compared to two. Mix of credit calculation would be my guess on the scoring reason, or perhaps it's a bucketing issue.
Not certain there's too many others which rationally make sense, but a closure status code isn't one of them AFAIK.

If you only have your mortgage, you are going to need to get some more positive TLs. Maybe a couple secured cards would help to start with.
