I would look elsewhere for the cause but really I would not even worry about +- 20 pt moves in Fico, its going to fluctuate all the time.

Re: Score Drop Experian

I assume your balance on your CR was updated to 0 which FICO does not like.

Current Fico Scores: (November 2024)

Re: Score Drop Experian

Is the AU card reporting late payments or a high balance reporting?

It's an inside joke.  Sorry 'bout that.

 

With the flurry of these 'score drop' threads (hell,  think i have a few out there), all you hear is, 'something else must have changed, things you cannot see or control' etc etc,, and after those explanations are given, you'll get the ' you shouldn't worry abouut your score so much....scores are dynamic....always changing....as long as it's within 20 pts you're fine."  I just wanna hear a new/fresh explanation for all these crazy score drops.  As I've stated a 100 times....I recently paid off $20k in debt and gained 30 pts across all 3 bureaus.... a week later, I had a balance increase of $44 on a single account and lost 6 pts...so I basically netted 24 pts after paying off $19,956.00.

 

Truth is, nobody really knows.  The best and only advice that really can stand the test of time is, pay your bills on time, don't incur a ton of debt  and the rest will take care of itself.

Re: Score Drop Experian

if 600 out of a 2300 limit is considered high then yes.

Its below 30% so thats okay though you want to have your card(s) report less to cover for the AU balance.
