Re: The 'All At Just Under 8.99% Utilization' experiment

July 10, 2019: The 'AZEO' update of 28 FICO scores.

 

22 of 28 FICO scores are up this time. Minimum gain, +2pts. Maximum gain, +27pts.

 

No more scores under 700 now - the lowest score is now EQ AUTO 8 at 709.

FICO 9 models reacted more strongly to AZEO, with a bunch of scores moving into the 'Very Good' 740+ range.

 

This is PART 1 of the table. PART 2 in a reply below. (The whole table now exceeds the 20,000 character message limit.)

Re: The 'All At Just Under 8.99% Utilization' experiment

August 10, 2019: The 'AAoA 12mo' update of 28 FICO scores.

 

8 of 28 FICO scores are up this time. Minimum gain, +1pts. Maximum gain, +10pts. All the rest stayed the same.

 

It looks like there isn't much to crossing the AAoA 1 year threshold:

  • No changes at EQ.
  • TU 8's went up around 4pts.
  • EX 9's went up 8 to 10pts.
  • TU 8 moved into the 'Very Good' range at 742.
  • 12 of 28 scores are now 'Very Good', with the rest at 'Good'.

Re: The 'All At Just Under 8.99% Utilization' experiment

September 10, 2019. AoYA 9 months.

 

  • 13 of 28 FICO scores are up. Minimum gain +1pts, maximum +5pts.
  • The +5 was on TU 4 - always good to get a mortgage score bump.
  • 2 older Bankcard scores went down -3 and -4 points. It has to be related to the 1% to 2% aggregate utilization change.
  • 'Short revolving history' shifted down in the list on a few scores, just like it did at AoYA 3mo and 6mo on most scores.
  • EQ Auto 5 had a shift in reason codes without a change in score.

Re: The 'All At Just Under 8.99% Utilization' experiment

November 10, 2019: The 'AoYA 11mo / Off AZEO' update of 28 FICO scores.

 

All 28 FICO scores down -1 to -27 points due to both cards reporting a balance [all still under 9%].

 

The breakpoint is 50% of cards with a balance, not 'less than 50% of cards with a balance', at least on this scorecard. Maybe it changes after 2 years of history?

 

EQ/TU were affected the most. VS3 only drops 1 or 2 points.

 

TU AUTO CBIS went up +13pts - no idea when/what triggered that.

 

Next update is December 10 when Age of Youngest Account (AoYA) will be at the magical 1 year mark.

 

I'm expecting around +20pts followed by inquiries dropping to 0 at all 3 CRA's on December 23, which should be good for +18 to +20 points as that was how much I lost from a single inquiry last year on each CRA. INQ's affect thin/young profiles ALOT MORE than is usually talked about.

 

This is PART 1 of the table. PART 2 in a reply below. (The whole table now exceeds the 20,000 character message limit due to changes in score factors on so many scores.)

I don’t believe the breakpoint changes at 2 years. I believe it exists on all scorecards, along with a few more.

Re: The 'All At Just Under 8.99% Utilization' experiment

December 10, 2019: The 'AoYA 1yr' update of 28 FICO scores.

 

A real mixed bag this time.

 

  • EX 2 models dropped -19 to -22pts, TU 4 models are up +10 to +29, and EQ 5's didn't change.
  • Through all that, my middle mortgage score stayed the same: EQ 5 at 724.
  • All this with no change in previously reported balances. I kept them exactly the same to isolate changes after reaching AoOA 2yrs / AoYA 1 yr.
