Experian dropped 7 points and TU dropped 23 points on CK, FACO of course.
Ugh, need to get that card down! Curse you hurricane Isaac!
Once it is paid down I am sure it will come back up, but, in case anyone wanted an idea of how many points get dropped for maxing out a CC.
But that one is a a quick fix. Once you have paid down the Util, your scores will go back up. Hope you are OK after Isaac. Good Luck.
Usually about 20too 40points
Hurricane Isaac forced my hand as well. I was going to be content to wait till November to app but because I need to get SBA-disaster loan and it pulls EX I decided to go for AMEX. After 2 AMEX instant approvals I went for the other card I was denied for prior to my rebuild, Walmart. Instant approval for that. Not to let a good thing end I apped for Chase Amazon card and again instant.
I contained my inter-app demon after that. I calculated my new cards will bring my AAoA from 10.1 years to 8.3. So I'll have a good dip for 6 months
But to get back on point, Isaac costs me about 12k in damage to home but I got the cards I wanted and received a much needed boost to my credit rebuilding moral. Strange how some good can come from such a bad event.
Duncanrr sorry to hear that. We lost a trampeline and stuff that is replaceable, A shingle here and there. We had to buy a generator tho, we lost power for almost three days and that isnt fun when you have small ones. Hopefully you get everything fixed up. I know people are still out of their homes, thank goodness we were not flooded, a few more days we may have been.
