Reporting of Available Revolving Credit Balance

Hi,

 

Does anyone know when each month (15th of the month, 30th?) your revolving available credit on a credit card is reported to  be used in recalculating your credit score for the next month?  Is it the same date for every credit card provider or different? Thanks in advance.

Re: Reporting of Available Revolving Credit Balance

Whenever your statement cuts, that's when the lender pushes your balance vs. CL to each respective CRA. I would look on each card to see when the statement cuts (it cuts every 30 days so look for when your new cycle starts). Also, I would suggest as something to keep in mind - I would note each card's statement cycle so that you can either PIF before that or pay balances down so that it reports as low as possible, also, AZEO is another method to use, as always YMMW with AZEO if your looking to maximize your scores.

AZEO is completely unnecessary unless there is an important app coming up.
Keep aggregate utilization below 8.9%, individual below 28.9% , pay by due date and you'll be golden.

And just to add to the converation, there are some lenders that specifically report on a particular date that may or may not be your statement date.  US Bank comes to mind, as my balance is always reported on the last day of the month.  The exceptions are rare, though, and almost all lenders will report the balance on your statement date.  Another exception is that any time you pay a Chase account to $0 (including any new charges since your last statement) it will be reported as $0 every time.

To add to above confusion

Your real Fico credit scores change every day.

Most places pull your score and only update it every so often, you are looking at history. (read the score pull date)

1. It's usually the statement balance that is reported.

 

@2. As @K-in-Boston correctly points out, there are scattered exceptions.

I think it's probably more correct to say that your real FICO score changes every time a change is reported to the CRA or a time milestone is passed (AAoA, etc.). It doesn't change just because.
