I was slowly rebuilding my credit and got up to around 660-670 and bought a new car. The dealership waited 53 days (!) to pay off my trade in through Capital One. Capital One obviously reported it as derogatory and my score dropped by 100 points! Eventually they paid off the original payoff amount which still left a balance of $120 (thanks to interest and fees). My credit went up by 35 points once that payoff check went through and Cap. One reported it, but that's still 60-70 points lower than it was. My scorewatch has the account change listed as before: balance $8230, status: not more than two payments past due. The after is listed as: balance $108, status: pays account as agreed. So, if 'pays account as agreed', why did my score only go back up by 35? Is 'pays account as agreed' negative? What can I do here? Thanks for anyone's help!
