I see that your signature shows 6 accounts, but Experian shows only 4 open accounts. Do you have any closed accounts which still have balances? If so that could be what's killing your score, as those are sometimes reported as maxed out cards.

Nice thought. Going above 89% might result in that sort of drop ... maybe.

My NFCU and Amex have yet to report as open accounts. Zero closed accounts.

OK well I suggest you carefully go over your report from the day the score dropped and the report from the day before, to try to hone in on what caused the drop.

Re: 76pt decrease.. ouch

As everyone else has suggested, there has to be another reason why there was such a dramatic drop. 76 pts is A LOT for just one revolver jumping to ~36%. To use as a comparison: My CFU posted a ~31% balance overnight (it was at 0% and I also went from 1% to ~9% agg utility) and my Experian only dropped 6 pts. My file is pretty thin, I am not AZEO (Barclays is showing a small balance) but I also have a 18K AU with no balance on it that's not shown in my sig.

Agreed, because the alert reason received (increase on that one card with overall low utilization) is not the reason for the score drop provided at the time, a very common misconception on this forum that they're always related.  It seems MF isn't the only source of this misleading practice.

Re: 76pt decrease.. ouch

Unless I am mis reading, it also sounds liek the OP has:

 

A very young AoYA

A very young AAoA

A flury of INQs.

 

New accounts, New INQs, and reduced AAoA, along with threshold and number of revolvers reporting could do it on a young thin file.

Re: 76pt decrease.. ouch

The image shows “no loan activity” and your Self-Builder loan in your siggy says paid off.

When did that installment loan drop from reporting? Have you already gotten the score hit from “no installment loan”?

Re: 76pt decrease.. ouch

Found out why.. I booked an AirBNB back in March of this year and it turned out to be a scam.. drove 12 hours only to find a house belonging to a very confused family as to why I had a key (not the right one) for their house. Took pics/video evidence and had the homeowner write a statement and had it notarized. Disputed with CapOne and now in October.. they ruled against me. 

 

My Cap One secured is now overlimit by $475. I will be paying it in full before the next statement. Will my score recover?
