Your score was impacted because your balances on your HELOCs are relatively high in proportion to your HELOC credit limits.
39	Serious delinquency	FICO® Scores consider the presence of a serious delinquency (very late payment) on a person’s credit report as a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Your score was impacted because your credit report shows one or more serious delinquencies. Most late payments stay on your report for no more than seven years.
38	Serious delinquency, and public record or collection filed	Your score was impacted because your credit report shows a public record or collection in addition to a delinquency. Satisfying the public record or paying off the collection will not remove the item from your credit report. It will still be considered by your FICO® Score.
13	Time since delinquency is too recent or unknown	Missed and late payments, including the number of late payments, how late they were, and how recently they occurred, are an important part of your FICO® Score. Your score was hurt because the time since your most recent past due payment was too recent.
20	Time since derogatory public record or collection is too short	The recency of a derogatory public record (such as a bankruptcy or tax lien) or collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Satisfying the public record or paying off the collection will not remove the item from your credit report. It will still be considered by your FICO® Score. As this item ages, its impact on your FICO® Score will gradually decrease. Most public records and collections stay on your report for no more than 7 years – though bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.
30	Time since most recent account opening is too short	Your FICO® Score considers how recently you opened a new credit account. People who recently opened a new credit account are more likely to miss future payments than those who have not.
19	Too few accounts currently paid as agreed	Your FICO® Score considers the number of accounts where you are paying your bills as agreed. In your case this number is too low because you have very few accounts or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
31	Too few accounts with recent payment information	The number of accounts with recent payment or activity information is too low because you have very few accounts or because you have few accounts with recent payment or activity information.
85	Too few active accounts	FICO® Scores consider the number of accounts which a person is actively using and paying as agreed as shown on their credit report. Your score was impacted by having very few accounts, or not using your accounts recently.

9	Too many accounts recently opened	Opening several credit accounts in a short time period is reflective of greater risk – especially for people with short credit histories.
5	Too many accounts with balances	Number of accounts you have with balances is too high, representing a greater risk to lenders than consumers with fewer accounts with balances.
4	Too many bank/national revolving accounts	Consumers with a moderate number of revolving credit cards on their credit bureau report represent lower risk than consumers with either a relatively large number or a very limited number of revolving credit cards.
6	Too many consumer finance company accounts	The fact that you have a consumer finance company loan on your credit report means that you represent a higher risk to lenders than someone with no consumer finance loans. Even if this account is closed, it will still lower your FICO® Score.
8	Too many inquiries last 12 months	Your FICO® Score was lowered due to the number of credit inquiries within the last 12 months. A common misperception is that every inquiry will drop your score a certain number of points. This is not true.

38	Serious delinquency, and public record or collection filed	The presence of a serious delinquency, derogatory public record or collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Satisfying the public record or paying off the collection will not remove the item from your credit report. It will still be considered by your FICO® Score. As this item ages, its impact on your FICO® Score will gradually decrease. Most public records and collections stay on your report for no more than 7 years – though bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.
49	Time since account activity is too long	Your FICO® Score considers accounts where you have actively used and paid your bills as agreed in the recent past. In your case, it has been too long since you have used credit.
13	Time since delinquency is too recent or unknown	Missed and late payments, including the number of late payments, how late they were, and how recently they occurred, are an important part of your FICO® Score. Your score was hurt because the time since your most recent past due payment was too recent.
20	Time since derogatory public record or collection is too short	The recency of a derogatory public record (such as a bankruptcy or tax lien) or collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Satisfying the public record or paying off the collection will not remove the item from your credit report. It will still be considered by your FICO® Score. As this item ages, its impact on your FICO® Score will gradually decrease. Most public records and collections stay on your report for no more than 7 years – though bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.
30	Time since most recent account opening is too short	Your FICO® Score considers how recently you opened a new credit account. People who recently opened a new credit account are more likely to miss future payments than those who have not.
42	Time since most recent consumer finance company account opening is too short	Your FICO® Score considers how recently you opened a new consumer finance loan. People who recently opened a new consumer finance loans are more likely to miss future payments than those who have not.
19	Too few accounts currently paid as agreed	Your FICO® Score considers the number of accounts where you are paying your bills as agreed. In your case this number is too low because you have very few accounts or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
31	Too few accounts with recent payment information	Your FICO® Score considers the number of accounts with recent payment or activity information. In your case this number is too low because you have very few accounts or because you have few accounts with recent payment or activity information.
3	Too few bank/national revolving accounts	You have fewer revolving credit card accounts than other consumers with credit histories of similar length.
9	Too many accounts recently opened	Your FICO® Score was hurt because of recent credit account openings. Opening several credit accounts in a short time period is reflective of greater risk – especially for people with short credit histories.
5	Too many accounts with balances	Your FICO® Score considers the number of accounts you have with balances. In your case this number is too high, representing a greater risk to lenders than consumers with fewer accounts with balances.
4	Too many bank/national revolving accounts	Your FICO® Score considers the total number of revolving credit card accounts you have. Consumers with a moderate number of revolving credit cards on their credit bureau report represent lower risk than consumers with a relatively large number of revolving credit cards.
6	Too many consumer finance company accounts	The fact that you have a consumer finance company loan on your credit report means that you represent a higher risk to lenders than someone with no consumer finance loans. Even if this account is closed, it will still lower your FICO® Score.
8	Too many inquiries last 12 months	Your FICO® Score was lowered due to the number of credit inquiries within the last 12 months. A common misperception is that every inquiry will drop your score a certain number of points. This is not true. Your FICO® Score will consider recent inquiries less as time passes, provided no new inquiries are added.
84	Too many installment accounts	Your FICO® Score considers the total number of installment loans you have. Consumers with a moderate number of installment loans on their credit bureau report represent lower risk than consumers with a relatively large number of installment loans.
91	Too many recently active accounts	Your FICO® Score was hurt because you recently used too many credit accounts. Using excessive credit accounts in a short time period is reflective of greater risk – especially for people with short credit histories.

1	Amount owed on accounts is too high	Your FICO® Score considers how much you owe on your credit accounts, such as credit cards and non-mortgage loans. Generally, the more you owe on these accounts, the greater risk you pose to lenders.
11	Amount owed on revolving accounts is too high	Your FICO® Score evaluates how much you owe on your revolving accounts, such as your credit cards. Generally, the more you owe on these accounts, the greater risk you pose to lenders.
21	Amount past due on accounts	Your FICO® Score was hurt because you have payments past due on your accounts. Generally, the greater amount that is past due, the greater the risk to lenders.
40	Derogatory public record or collection filed	A derogatory public record or collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Satisfying a public record or paying off a collection will not remove a valid item from your credit report. It will be still be considered by your FICO® Score. As this item ages, its impact on your FICO® Score will gradually decrease. Most public records and collections stay on your report for no more than seven years – though bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.
15	Lack of recent bank/national revolving information	Your credit report shows no open revolving credit card accounts or sufficient recent information about your revolving credit cards. People who demonstrate responsible use of different types of credit are generally less risky to lenders.
32	Lack of recent installment loan information	Your credit report shows no recent non-mortgage loans (such as auto or student loans) or sufficient recent information about your loans. Having a loan along with other types of credit demonstrates that you are able to manage a variety of credit types.
16	Lack of recent revolving account information	Your FICO® Score evaluates your mix of credit products, and your credit report shows no open revolving accounts or sufficient recent information about your revolving accounts. People who demonstrate responsible use of different types of credit are generally less risky to lenders.
14	Length of time accounts have been established	The age of your oldest account and/or the average age of your accounts is relatively low. (AoOA and/or AAoA - includes open and closed accounts.)
12	Length of time revolving accounts have been established	The age of your oldest revolving account and/or the average age of your revolving accounts is relatively low. (AoORA and/or AAoRA.)
2	Level of delinquency on accounts	Missed and late payments, including the number of late payments, how late they were, and how recently they occurred, are an important part of your FICO® Score. Your score was hurt because you have missed payments to your creditors.
17	No recent non-mortgage balance information	Your credit report shows no open or recently reported credit accounts, except for possibly a mortgage.
24	No recent revolving balances	Your credit report shows no recent balances on your revolving accounts. Your FICO® Score was hurt because you are not currently demonstrating active revolving credit management. (AZ or All Zero Penalty. One card with a small balance is best! )
18	Number of accounts with delinquency	Missed and late payments, including the number of late payments, how late they were, and how recently they occurred, are an important part of your FICO® Score. Your score was hurt because your credit report shows accounts with missed payments.
46	Payments due on accounts	Missed and late payments, including the number of late payments, how late they were, and how recently they occurred, are an important part of your FICO® Score. Your score was hurt because you have missed payments to your creditors.
33	Proportion of loan balances to loan amounts is too high	Your FICO® Score weighs the balances of your non-mortgage installment loans (such as auto or student loans) against the original loan amounts. In general, when you first obtain an installment loan your balance is high, and as you pay this loan down, the balance decreases.
10	Ratio of balance to limit on bank/national revolving or other revolving accounts is too high	Your FICO® Score evaluates your balances in relation to available credit on revolving credit card or other revolving accounts. The extent of your credit usage is one of the most important factors to your FICO® Score. In your case, this proportion of balances to credit limits is too high on these accounts.
39	Serious delinquency	The presence of a serious delinquency is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. People with previous late payments are much more likely to pay late in the future. As these items age, the impact on your FICO® Score will gradually decrease. Most late payments stay on your report for no more than 7 years.
38	Serious delinquency, and public record or collection filed	The presence of a serious delinquency, derogatory public record or collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. Satisfying the public record or paying off the collection will not remove the item from your credit report. It will still be considered by your FICO® Score.

Most public records and collections stay on your report for no more than 7 years – though bankruptcies may remain for up to 10 years.

4	Too many bank/national revolving accounts	Your FICO® Score considers the total number of revolving credit card accounts you have. Consumers with a moderate number of revolving credit cards on their credit bureau report represent lower risk than consumers with a relatively large number of revolving credit cards. Closing an existing revolving credit card account doesn't make it disappear from your credit report immediately. So closing many or all of these accounts isn't likely to impact your FICO® Score.
6	Too many consumer finance company accounts	The fact that you have a consumer finance company loan on your credit report means that you represent a higher risk to lenders than someone with no consumer finance loans. Even if this account is closed, it will still lower your FICO® Score.
8	Too many inquiries last 12 months	Your FICO® Score was lowered due to the number of credit inquiries within the last 12 months. A common misperception is that every inquiry will drop your score a certain number of points. This is not true.
