There are too many variables at play when someone has lots of negatives in their profile to isolate this one, relatively small, factor.
I think this is pretty true.
I've seen ~10 pt gains when crossing a 3mo old threshhold with my (formerly) dirty scorecards (not as dirty as the original post - 2 charge offs, 2-3 collection accounts), but the next 3mo threshhold will be on a clean scorecard (only EQ is dirty at this point and should be clean in Aug, my 3 mo mark is in Sept)...Thanks for the input folks.
@calyx, ~10 points at 3 months, while not huge is certainly tangible. Any other derogitory aging that might have contributed to it?
All three scorecards at that point were pretty different, but the 11-12 bump was pretty uniform, so I assumed it was AoYA (of course, I've learned to track more factors now). 12/17/18 to 1/2/2019
EQ: AAoA 6y6m -> 6y7m AoOa 22y 10m -> 22y 11m 1% UTI 2/4 -> 1/4 Time since Neg = 5y -> 5y 1m Loan Util 98.1% -> 94.8% +11FICO8
EX: AAoA 4y5m -> 4y6m AoOa 14y 1m -> 14y 2m 1% UTI 1/4 -> 1/4 Time since Neg = 4m ->5m Loan Util 94.8% -> 94.8% +11 FICO8
TU: AAoA 1y8m -> 1y9m AoOa 5y 1m -> 5y 2m 1% UTI 2/4 -> 1/4 Time since Neg = 5y -> 5y 1m Loan Util 94.8% -> 94.8% +12 FICO8
Single installment loan (student loan), and the young "time since neg" on EX wasn't correct, but since my stuff was all aging off soon, I didn't sweat it (DoFD 7/2012-8/2012 depending on the CRA).
2 Charge offs and Collections each on EQ and EX, No Charge-offs, just 2 collections on TU.
The only other change (which I didn't note at the time) was that EX had 1 of 4 accounts reporting on each date, TU and EQ both went from 2 -> 1 reporting of 4.
