Less than 2 weeks ago, I maxed out my best buy visa card and my scores were in the 720s across the board. I checked my experian and it's now standing at 670! This is what happens when you max your credit cards lol it's only temporarily if you pay it off

My EX score dropped 13 points just by crossing the 9% UTIL threshold. I paid off all but one of my cards, and it went right back to where it started once the monthly statement dates rolled around. It's a fickle thing, innit?

I went from 4% to 14% and lost 21 points on EX, 18 points on TU and 23 points on EQ. Paid back down to 6%. I should see a decent recovery next month.
And that was without maxing a card.
Wow! At least you will bounce back. I took one card to 78%, another to 40%, and one to 30% a few months ago. Was a little nervous to see what kind of score drop I would get, but to my surprise I only lost 5-7 points on each bureau. Paid everything off in December and waiting to see what my scores will be. As of now I did get 2-3 points back since then. Good Luck!
Um.
What does your file look like and what was your aggregate? Single max card I don't lose anywhere close to that assuming my aggregate stays minimal. I assume we're talking FICO 8 here and not some Vantage or other score?
