Well, under half a percent anyway.
My otherwise clean EX (with 6 INQs) went from 803 to 806 when util went from about 2% to under .5%.
That is all.
EQ | 841 | 5 INQ (Auto, CC, HELOC, 2 mort) | 7y2m |
EX | 812 | 5 INQ (2 CC, 2 mort, HELoan) | 6y11m |
TU | 829 | 4 INQ (3 CC, 1 mort) | 6y6m |
5/24 | 3/12 | AoYA 0m | AoOA 23y6m | ~3% |
That's about as much as I would expect from a move like that @expatCanuck
I was surprised (but pleased) to get the bump -- knew about 8.9%, but not 'below half a percent but above zero'.

What are the dollar amounts of your aggregate balance at those two points?
I ask because there is a theory that there are some points awarded/lost for Total Revolving Balances, measured in dollars. I think this came up in the pinned AMA with real FICO experts. @HeavenOhio found a threshold at some preposterous number like $156 or something. Here's a post where that user narrowed it down to somewhere between $129 and $179.
Total balance reported owing had been ~6.5K, against an aggregate revolver line of a little over 340K.
The card reporting $5K has a $25K line.
Now, ~$1.5K is reporting.
