Credit score swings up and down

 my last inquiry was 11 months ago... nothing has changed on my credit reports all open up to date and ok ... I have 126,600 in available credit. And I and at 3% utilization. 

 My credit scores had remained stable for 9 months straight going up a few points here and there.

 My experian Fico 8,  2 months ago suddenly went from 760 to 732 with no explanation and in 2 months its back up to 759 today... during that score drop my transunion and equifax stayed the same ... today my transunion suddenly went from 770- 742 again with no explanation I have been absolutely perfect on payments, inquiries, and utilization... I'm kinda getting sick of worrying about it anymore. No matter who i call or what report I get everything is in the green. 

 3 yrs 2 months longest credit, 1 yr 9 month ave. In the last 2 months 6 inquiries have drop off report..... I'm so confused about what's real and what's not.

It looks like the EX drop was from scorecard reassignment for AoOA passing 3 years.  Do TU and EQ also give 3 years 2 mos for your oldest account, or are they slightly shorter?

Lots of members have been reported EX-related issues in the last few weeks, so I personally wouldn't sweat it.

This is true. But @Talonwildstar , as @Slabenstein said, scorecard reassignment caused the drop at 3 years and the inquiries aging probably caused the increase. My only problem is the late drops on the other CRAs. Any difference in data across bureaus?

 

Also, @Girlzilla88 when was your most recent delinquency?

Re: Credit score swings up and down

@Anonymous     I don't have any Deliquency, no Lates, no Collections, no BK's.....I did some digging because I too posted a Forum about it and the only conclusion we can come up with is that my Malibu's original open date hit 3 years and CLOSED, but I did refinance it in 2018 and it is still open and current so I am not sure what's going on and why there is a 3 year issue or even if it had perfect payments why a Drop for it closing at the 3 mark?!     Can you ellaborate please.

@Girlzilla88 if your oldest account hit three years on score 8 you are reassigned to a mature scorecard and there is typically a drop, so that would explain it. think of going from the top of one ladder to the bottom of another.

 

does that help or do you have any specific questions?
