70 point drop?

Options

‎11-29-2012 03:09 PM

I justsaw a drop in my score from 677 to 607 in one week and  the only change to my credit was that one cc balance went up by $2k which I plan on paying off next week.  Any idea if it will go back up when I pay the balance?  I signed up for monitoring because I am applying for a mortgage and it drops the week I'm applying?  Any suggestions?

did that 2k max you out?  What did your utilization change to?

Starting Score: (7/2012) 522
Current Score: (2/19/2013) (Lender Pull) TU:661 EQ: 661 EX 679
Goal Score: 660
NEW Goal Score: 700

No, that card has a 3K limit,  I need to go check all my other cards to verify my ratio, thanks for the idea.

I take it both scores came from myFICO? If so, which report?
