Hello Cassie,
My report just came in and my stress index dropped to 56 from 60. I assume this was due to my Utilization dropping to less than 1% from about 7-8% in the prior report. I still have 2 flags though: Amount of Debt(High Installment Loans) and High % of Revolving Accounts. Oh well.

@joeyv1985: I just went UP (bad) from 53 to 56. I'll have to add yours and mine in a bit.
All I have is 4 open revolving accounts with 1 loan that closed 2 years ago. I'm always going to have "High % of revolving accounts".

Hello Cassie, I have 4 Credit Cards, 1 Charge Card(Amex opened 11/28), 1 Mortgage and a car loan that was just Paid In Full on 12/30/2020. The reporting for the car loan seems to lag. On my 3B report I just received today, it shows a balance of $5331 for the Nov reporting period. December should show $1331 when the next report comes up for I made a $4K Principal only Payment in late Nov. I wonder how my next report is going to be when the AMEX reports as a new account and the car loan shows paid in full? Hope it won't be too bad.
Going from 2-of-4 to 4-of-4 cards with a balance,
+$913 in aggregate balance to $1,571 (5%),
one card going from 4.0% to 9.0% exactly (paid down before close),
and everything else below 9% utilization.
Lost 2 points: 54 to 56.

I think mine was 65 or 64 in the previous month. Don't remember for sure. It was 60-something though.

"High revolving account balances" are dropping like a rock. They're high from some unexpected expenses earlier this year which are being paid off pretty quickly.
I call BS on the "high installment loan balances." My lenders are apparently slow to report. There were two. One was paid off completely in November. This report is from December 28. It was a 13-month loan I paid off in 17 weeks. The other is below 30%.

Thanks @mgood ! #53 to contribute!
And there's a lot of 'BS' like that with this score that we've seen so far. lol
