Re: Scoring????

Better review that credit report more closely.  There might be other stuff going on.  Maybe AAoA hit some new average.  Also, are you understanding how utilization is looked at?  It is not just total utilization but other utilization factors.  btw, when quoting utilization are you just including revolving debt utilization (ie only credit cards and not charge cards and installment loans)?
