No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I am surprised that our OP has received new score updates from all those sources so very fast. In the case of Karma it is not surprising. The OP can go in and pull fresh scores instantly as long as she hasn't gotten any in the last six days. But the other sources (especially credit cards) typically take a month or even more to update new scores.
Regardless, if I were the OP, I would sign up for the $1 trial at Credit Check Total. That will give our OP true FICO scores using the same model (FICO 8 Classic) across all three bureaus drawn at the exact same point in time.

They seem to be within a few points of your FICO scores currently, which may cause you to [wrongly] believe that this will then always be the case... and if you saw a (say) 50 point drop to one of your non-FICO scores then it would mean your FICO scores would also drop around 50 points. Be aware though that this is not true at all and no direct relationship/comparison can be formed between FICO scores and non-FICO scores.
Very true. My experience is that Vantage scores are much more sensitive to utilization than FICO. Mine are pretty close now with overall UTI around 10% and no cards over 40%, but when I was at 80% overall and some cards close to 100%, the Vantage scores were 80-100 points lower than FICO.

The original balance was $15,000, I paid the remaining $1,900.
I have other installment loans:
Fed Loan: Orig. $32,220 Current : $47,714
Fed Loan 2: 20,500 26,094
Fed Loan 3: 20,500 25,519
Fed Loan 4: 20,500 22,608
Fed Loan 5: 20,500 21,714
Navient: 3,500 2,154
Navient: 3,000 1,721
Navient: 3,061 0
Since you owe more on many of your loans than the original loan amount, the mostly paid down auto loan was probably boosting your score somewhat. Nevertheless I don't think any FICO score would have received such a drastic point loss from that loan payoff.
Accordingly, you should tell us exactly what reports and scores you are looking at.
