Util scoring question

We all know that you typically get a score increase when your util goes down, but I was recently told that the larger bump up comes after the next update. Something about the scoring formula takes into account moving balances around ??? Any truth to that? I just paid down about 5K in CC balances and got a small increase, just wondering if I've got more to look forward to next month.

Re: Util scoring question

I've never heard of util-driven score changes showing up incrementally over multiple statements. Generally as soon as the balance change hits the CR, you get all the improvement you're going to get from said change in util.
