Since the FICO scorecard system is very much speculative, has anybody seen posted any anecdotal information about the highest FICO a given scorecard will allow? We already know a flawless scorecard has a max of 850, but what about for example, a scorecard with CO and lates, or BK, or other derogs?
I ask because I seem to be stuck as far as myFICO TU reports regardless what I do with util and single card w/ balances vs. multiple cards w/ balances.
Actually the max is less than 850.

Understood, but that is the scale they advertise.
On the question at hand, there is no fixed cap per bucket because of the buckets. Your score is dependent on everyone else's and because of that that cap is ever-evolving. Now it's generally known that it's difficult, but not impossible, to hit 750 with a BK reporting. Or very difficult to hit into the 700s with multiple major baddies. It's a YMMV thing based on the scoring bucket the person is in in relation to how the baddie reports.
Is util listed as a pos/neg factor anywhere on your TU FICO? If not, it'll be hard to impact your TU FICO on util alone.
