AFAIK I never lost points for adding an installment loan (other than inquiry / new account on clean scorecards) if I didn't materially shift my installment utilization.  That said I'm not certain if there was a window sans installment loan because I always tried to open installment loans when before the last fell off, something to look at.

 

Heh, also before anyone gets the wrong idea on those reason codes: Chase Credit Journey so it's Vantage.

Those are VS specific, not FICO; like FICO 8 I don't know if VS cares about CFA's at all; interesting that Credit Journey provides VS reason codes though as I've only gotten those through Alliant previously, that's a nice touch and maybe I'll come off my you ain't getting my TU report for free Chase... nah probably not Smiley Happy.

 

 

 


Of course adding a 15k loan to my little SSL materially shifted my installment utilization. I went from 6.2% to 89.2%

I just applied and was approved for a loan from from Marcus on Wednesday (and It's all your fault lol) after reading your post.  Was approved and funded on Friday.  Got an alert today that the loan was reported to TU already.  The HP showed up on Thursday.

 

Surprised mine hit so fast and yours hasn't reported yet.  Interesting,

 

 



Congrats OP! Smiley Happy That's a sweet deal!

 

Gidgetomom, Care to share your offer details? Will help add more data points if interested. Smiley Happy

What rate did you get? Get the loan amount you wanted?? FICO scores? 

 

Also, curious to know if Marcus grants the same offer as their invite. And, if a 700+ FICO is really needed to get in.

Thanks!

Did you have a score change as a result going to 89.2%.?

Installment utilization on FICO 8, <9% to 89% is going from best possible scoring scenario to worst for installment loans.

You're asking me?  What do I know? The last time I took out a comparable loan my TU FICO 8 went down 41 points.
