Re: 2 baddies fell off...score dropped by 6 points!

You will sometimes see a drop from paid baddies, and yes, as stated above it's mostly due to AAoA.  However the removal of the baddies will aid in the cleanliness of your CR and will allow it to grow.

Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

I'm pretty sure it was his AAoA that caused this based on the info he provided. It looks like when the 2 accounts fell off he lost 1.5yrs on his AAoA.

Sound about right?

There's not enough info to calculate AAoA. I didn't see the mention that AAoA remained the same. I think his 1.5 yr mention had more to do with the most recent baddie vs. the age of an acct.

 

I would suggest to OP though to recalulate AAoA. At the least it was approx. a 6 yr acct if AAoA is at 6. I'm guessing OP looked at a FICO report to get the AAoA? OP, is that right? If so, AAoA is accurate, but you can still lose if it is among the oldest accounts reporting, oldest revolving, oldest installment, etc. because the length of history within each classification would have diminished (assuming it is older).

 

Also, OP, I got to thinking. Where are you getting your score from? I assume one is a lender. Is the newest from the lender too? If not, where is it from? That can explain the score difference. Also, if from here, was it TU or EQ? If from TU then that can explain the difference too because of the FICO version used.
