Figured I'd share some DPs that might back up @SouthJamaica 's findings when he was comparing FICO 2 vs FICO 8 found here. I'm at the tier thresholds on a few accounts and wanted to track what the changes will be. My reports have no baddies or HPs and nothing closing soon so UTIL should be the only factor. I won't be able to update EQ and TU until early next month.
NOTE: You'll see some accounts update with different UTIL from the previous update but I'm not making updates unless scores change just to keep things a little cleaner.

The key is to get under 50%

Yeh I messed that one up this month. LOL I read your article AFTER I already made the payments. I figure it's a good starting point now to see where it goes from here.

Nice little surprise this morning as one of my balances updated. I'm really curious what's going to happen early next month when the two drop below %50. I'm not sure I'll have the funds to get one down to %28 but below %50 looks promising for a score bump.

I told you. That 50% threshold is a big one.
Onward to below 30% where there will be some more improvement.
Try to break out EX 2 from EX 8, because my little discovery has altered the advice I've been giving folks on improving their mortgage scores.
@SouthJamaica EX 2 shows 787 but I'm not sure what it was before.
Are you at AZEO on all revolving TLs?

No. Look at the latest update with todays date. All 5 accounts are reporting balances. I had some very high utilization on each account and have been paying them down through the tiers to see what happens as I progress. My file is clean besides balances. Like others have been saying, you see some score bumps when an account goes below %50, or below %30. Ideally under %10 is where I want to be but I have a ways to go still.
