Re: Scoring impact from max-out of single card?

Yes, though the latest aggregate utilization is 2%, so more like 2% to 4%.

Did you only have 1 card?  If so, your individual card utilization is your aggregate utilization.  If that's the case, it's definitely possible to lose that much.  The qualifiers in the original post of this thread though stated that aggregate utilization needed to stay ideal, so a single-digit number both before/after the individual card max-out.  This doesn't sound to be the case in your example above.

What was your before/after aggregate utilization then, as that tells a greater story than a single maxed-out card.

Re: Scoring impact from max-out of single card?

Not sure on aggregate as I haven't for some reason heard that term yet.

Card 1 and 2 reported 0% while three was between 1-7%. After I put card one at 99%, card two at 75% three at 80%. There was a reporting break between card one and the other two showing the massive drop. Only a few points change each month down as balances remain. Card three has been brought to 0%. Card one and two remains. Score bumped up 5 points paying off one card while leaving the other two. Will find out when I pay the other two off over the next month or so what the scores do. Clearly anticipate a 80+ point increase once paid.
