Up or down and by how much?
How long ago was this? While you can't get a firm answer when comparing EQ to TU, how long ago did TU update?
SW won't alert you to dropped balances. So assuming there were no credit changes or balance increases, then you wouldn't get a credit alert. However, your EQ FICO is monitored for changes every 7-10 days. Assuming your score changed and surpassed your target score as found in settings, then you'll get a score alert alerting to the new EQ FICO. Not every paydown will result in a FICO increase though. Paying down from 10% overall util to 5% might increase your EQ FICO. Hard telling. If util is listed as a top negative, then I would think there's a good chance.
