FICO dropped 30 pts! Not sure why...

OK- Scorewatch tells me I have an update.  FICO dropped 30 pts. UGH! Now what?

 

Although CreditKArma reflected the mortgage inquiry, Scorewatch did not show a new inquiry.  Not sure what could cause THAT BIG of a FICO drop.  My CC balances jump around a bit, but not enough to cause 30 points. Is it possible that it is a scorewatch glitch that could correct itself? 

 

733 was good for the rates and terms I need on this refi, but 703 is probably not. Now I am scared.  I thought the appraisal was going to be the only possible problem, but now this!

 

What will happen? Will they use the original FICO, or am I screwed?


Starting Score: 693 TU FICO, 679 EQ FICO
Current Score: 748 TU(12/12), 771 TU98 , 824 TU08 FICO, 776 EQ FICO , 735 EX(9/12) FICO
Goal Score: 750+, but shooting for the 800's
