I thought so too. I had to refresh my memory with BBS's testing.

A couple times showed profile specific. Other than that, OP needs to comb line by line.


@Anonymous.  Where you reporting 3 of 5 revolvers for last month and the month prior? What about your charge card? Look for the small details.


Ok so I looked at balances reported on or before January 22nd because that was the last day I saw a 759 score. The WF Propel had a $0 balance reported, while the CFU and RedCard had a balances within a few dollars of the previously mentioned balances. 


I bet it's that WF reporting. You still have a fairly thin file.

One way to test is go from 3/6 to 2/6. If you regain your 15 points, you'll know based on your score card, it was 50% of accounts reporting a balance.

You may be right. Detective caps on. Can't wait for the next reporting cycle to happen.

ETA. Counting revolvers only. It was 2/5. You went 3/5, correct?

If thats what's happening, points will bounce back immediately when only 2 report.

To clarify, you were 2 of 6? Then, when you went 3 of 6?

3 of 6 is when the 15 point penalty occured?

2/5 Credit Cards, then 3/5 when the drop occurred

I'd say that's definitely it. If you had six revolvers, might not have happened. You were hit for over 50%.

I'll reduce it to two as most of my billing cycles are coming up and see what happens. I've been waiting to apply for the CSP so that will make any changes unclear but I was unaware of this 50% rule.

Try 2/5 revolvers for the next earliest reporting cycle.

IIRC, if it matters, whenever you pay Chase to zero, they will automatically report.
