I was wondering what causes score to drop? I got an alert about credit card balance decreased. I thought that is the good thing in the eyes of the credit bureaus.
We need more information. What are your current balances reporting on your CRs? Did you pay off your only installment loan to $0 the same month? Any new accounts since last report?

The ONLY time a balance decrease can cause a score drop is if it's your ONLY reported balance and it drops to $0 (and reports as $0). Yes, decreasing balances is always a great thing!
Your balance decrease simply triggered an alert and you were provided with a new score, but the new score and the alert reason have nothing to do with each other.
