"Bucketing" is a term used to desribe how your CR is judged against other people in your "bucket" or credit score group. When you get rebucketed it means you have been placed into a different group or "bucket". I know this may sound confusing but I am sure someone with more knowledge on this will post and clear everything up for you.
