Quick Question

Quick question.  If nothing has changed, at all, on my Equifax report why would my score go down 1 point.  Just curious.

Re: Quick Question

Everything changes. Your credit report might be 1 day older and something that was helping short term lost the effects. Maybe a date changed for date of last activity because a lender reviewed your profile. Maybe you lost the point because you let too much time go by with out using an account. There are many things that can effect 1 point. Usually from what I learned is that if you have something old fall off that was helping or mostly because your UTL changed. All it takes is $1 to change your score if that $1 is at a point where your score was about to change. If you had a balance showing of $100 and it reported the next month as $99 that could drop you 1 point because your balance is now lower than the sweet spot for scoring. Could be that you just reached a point where they score you differently with another group of people that you just fell in to because your profile got older. Hard to say.
