I just received an alert. My score has dropped 18 pts. Reason: You may be looking for new credit...**bleep**! I haven't applied for anything in months. I did open a new checking account, but that alerted on 9/14, and my score actually increased a few days later on the 18th. Can someone explain this to me.
