My FICO score dropped nearly 20 points when Bank of America sold my loan to PennyMac Loans (not at my request). I went from 788 to 765 becuase the BOA loan now says "closed." According to PennyMac, they will not begin reporting to the credit companies until October/November. However, according to FICO, the BOA loan payment (excellent/never late) will not count in my score and PennyMac showing up could possibily cause my score to drop more as it is a "new: lender and loan.
I normally wouldn't be soooooo concerned with FICO. But I am shopping for a car loan and was offered 0.9% interest because my FICO was more than 780. Now it's not.
Will my score recover once PennyMac officially reports? I am making payments to them as of 7/1.
Has anyone else experienced this?

A score of 765 is still top tier, so this won't impact your auto loan APR.
I had the same situation when my mortgage loan was sold. I had a 2 month period where the original mortgage showed as closed, and the new company wasn't reporting yet--my score also went down. Once the new company started reporting, they reported the original loan date, and my score recovered. My report still shows the loan with the original mortgage loan, but it appears as closed, balance $0. There won't be any long term effect of the "new" loan once it starts reporting, though it sounds like this timing is inconvenient

Posted a follow up in the thread I started, posting here, too, as this thread is newer. CCT gave me an EX alert. Roughly 4 +/- after my mortgage/servicing was sold/transferred and 3 +/- months after it showed closed on my EX report, it is now reporting again and 12 points returned.
Thank you!
Thank you so much. This puts me at ease.
