+11 points on CreditKarma from utilization drop!

This is actually for my wife's account. Seems like a pretty big jump from dropping utilization from 28% to 23% but that's the only change, so it must be it, 668 to 679. I know it's a FAKO score but still nice to see. Smiley Happy

 

Can't wait to see mine later this week as I went from 42% to 0% this month, should update by end of the week.

Expect a huge jump. My Tranksrisk increased by 31 points and my Vantage surged by 121 points because of one single balance decrease. Cat Tongue

Util sure is a big part of your score. Congrats to her! You should see a nice jump on yours, I brought mine down from 80% to about 28% and my score jumped 60 points.

Sweet!  This is killing me, waiting that is.  I dropped my utilization from 50% to 3-4% this month but it's yet to be updated.  Should update in a week.

I paid $7500 to a Cap One/Suzuki finance account that has a $15K CL.

 

I was expecting a modest 20pt. jump, but now I'm expecting 40-50!!!

Good info to know. I just dropped my util to 0 so hopefully my score goes up.

Actually, at 0, you could see a drop.  I know it doesn't sound good, but the scores like to see a little useage, under 9%.  Unless I'm looking for new credit, I couldn't care less about it.  I'd rather have a few points drop then pay interest.

Wow great job! Next month I'm hoping to bring mine down from 90% to below 10%.
