I had a balance increase on one of my installment accounts and Experian just gave me a 27 score increase while Transunion lowered my score one point. My utilization on this account went from 24% to 78%. Why would that give me a 27 point boost? Thought that was a bad thing.
Generally it is a bad thing. However generally is the operative word here. Too many variables exist to begin to answer why. And while you got the boost today dont be surprised if its gone tomorrow. If you dont have your CR as of today then apparently something occurred that help the point boost. Then again..............
It was actually an alert notification showing the increase in my balance/utilization along with the subsequent 27 point increase/ and 1 point reduction.
