All Zero report: Experian only

[Anonymous]

This is a report of the difference between 2 of 4 at $1,423 (4%) and All Zero.

• This is a temporary change as I switch which 2 cards report a balance.
• I had a total balance of $1,423 on 2 of 4 cards last month: $189 Mastercard and $1,234 Visa (Both at 9% individual).
• Those 2 cards are now at $0. The other 2 haven't closed yet, so they still show $0.
• Discover and AMEX should report in a few days at 4.00% each. The All Zero score drop will reverse, and I'll gain +3 month-over-month on EX 8 (742 to 745) due to crossing a 5% individual util threshold at EX on every card on my young file scorecard. (Doesn't happen with older profiles.)
• Aggregate change from $1,423 to $0 (4% to 0%). Individual was 9%/9% on 2 cards, now at $0.

@Anonymous Very interesting as always Cassie. And so now they’re going to go up 1>2 and will get those data points as well on the way back up? very interested in comparing 01234.

Discover and AMEX both close today (the 6th).

I've been seeing a delay in AMEX's reporting lately, so there might be some time to get a clean daily report from EX at 1of4 before 2of4 reporting.

The plan now is to have the same 2 cards with the same balances (4% each, $160 and $520) reporting in December for the big AoOA 3yr / AoORA 2yr test.

Then in January I want to see what happens on mortgage scores when switching from $680 to $499 aggregate. I really think there is a $500 threshold there.

You could consider moving the date on one of those so you would have discrete changes?

Imagine seeing this after paying off all your credit cards and not knowing about the All Zero score drop.

New Topic: One of [FICO Sucks!], [THIS WHOLE CREDIT THING IS A SCAM], [!@#$% %$# !@#% FICO $%^&^$ !!!!], [etc.]

All good....AMEX and Discover will report statement balances of $520 and $160 (4.00% ind. util, exactly) over the next few days.

First 2 cards to report are now at $0 from $1,423 total.

2 separate reason statements on TU 8 for no recent balances!

@Anonymous that is so awesome! I had already included that in the Primer and now I have a link with a picture of it in real life!!

That proves it is tracking them separately and I wonder if the credit union card reported if you would get the national code or not. And I bet it excludes retail! That's probably why you get the "partial AZ penalty" for a retail card at AZEO, because it's only triggering one of the two, since it is still a revolver. 😉

So the traditional AZ penalty is actually a combination of 2 AZ penalties at TU8 and EQ8.

EX8 does not have the national/bankcard negative reason code and therefore it does not have this AZ penalty, imho.

EX now has the new AMEX and Discover balances of $520 and $160, respectively.

EX BC8 and EX 3 like All Zero better than 2 of 4 with a $680 aggregate balance.

As expected, I picked up +3 points on EX 8 with every card at less than 5% util after rounding (both at 4% now, had 2 at 9% last month).

Aggregate %	Aggregate $	TOTAL LIMIT
2% (2.125)	$680	$32,000

Note: Comparison to a temporary All Zero drop - not to the prior month.

4% (4.00 exact) individual utilization on 2 cards out of 4. Other 2 at $0.

Below is a comparison to prior month with 2 cards at 9% each, 2 at $0.

$1,423 to $680 aggregate balance change, 4% to 2% aggregate util.

EX 2's are no longer showing 'No recent revolving usage', even though last month had $1,423 on 2 different cards.

EX 2's picked up some points due to dropping below $1000 in total balances. Usually around +5 that I have seen before.

(Those 2 cards are not charge or retail cards - Citi Costco Visa had $1,234 and it still showed 'No recent revolving usage' last month.)
