AZEO nominal to AZEO over 29% single - 4/2/7 pts

My BT card reported.  AZEO with nominal (<1%) occupancy single card utilization went to 32.1%; aggregate remains under 7%.

 

My EX score (the canary in my coal mine) dropped 4 points (721 to 717).  EQ dropped 2 (750-748). 

TU dropped 8 (math left as an exercise for the reader).

 

Not unexpected, but not pleasant.

 

I'll have util down to under 28.5% next month -- we'll see what happens.

Re: AZEO nominal to AZEO over 29% single - 4 pt hit

Sounds about right.  I think that the overall perception if you were to poll people would be that the loss would be > 4 points, but it's really never that bad from what I've seen.  As with everything, though, it depends on profile.

EQ just reported.  Only a 2-point drop.  EX truly is the canary.

 

My sense is that scores below 740/750 or above 800 are more volatile (depending upon the change).

Re: AZEO nominal to AZEO over 29% single - 4 pt hit

And, closing the loop - single card util is back down under 29% (28.5), and no points back on EQ or EX.  Edit: TU yielded back 2.  (When the card first reported ~32% util, I took a 2 / 4 / 7 point hit on EQ / EX / TU, respectively.)

 

The card reported 4.5/14 last month, and 4/14 this month.  All other cards report zero.  Aggregate util is 5.1% against reported limits (which doesn't include a recent 12K CLI).

 

TU doesn't appear to have processed the change yet (per myFICO), but the other two have.

Re: AZEO nominal to AZEO over 29% single - 4/2/7 pts

OP are you going to add reporting balances, or this is strictly utilization change within AZEO?

Good info, it will be interesting to see the INQ drop off. 

High Bal Jan 2009 $116k on $146k limits 80% Util.
Oct 2014 $46k on $127k 36% util EQ 722 TU 727 EX 727

Strictly util changes w/in AZEO.  Last month, reported 4.5/14K.  This month 4/14K.  It's my only card reporting.
