Good evening/morning
So after making my goal and getting approved from 0% on my new auto loan. I consolidated all my bills onto one card, including my auto insurance, a large purchase, and any standing balances, minus a couple 0% deals. Which brings 2 of my cards to nearly 90% UTI. What will be reported from the 30th of April will be ~85%
As of right now, experian has my reported UTI at <1% aggregate $526.00/$38,650.00
This is because of the timing of the shuffle that happened.
What is about to report is
DCU- $4,100/5,000 82%
NFCU- $825/1,000 82.5%
My speadsheet is showing, including some random purchases on other cards, a total of $5,878/$38,650 @ 15.21% utilization.
Current scores are
EX8 682
EQ8 719
TU8 707
EX9 652
EQ9 747
TU9 671
I also just renewed my MF account, but waiting to pull my reports for when my DCU balance finally reports.
When I make payments, I'll let the new balance report, and then update as I go along, seeing what score changes happen. I will also include when scorable INQ's begin to fall off. Now there are many of them, so hopefully I'll see where the max INQ penalty is also.
(EX 34) (EQ 23) (TU 20) in 24 months (EX 18) (EQ 14) (TU 11) in 12 months (scorable)
I only have one or 2 planned apps within the next few months, but for BT purposes, which will be a NavyFed card, and maybe a 2nd disco. But I am no longer in a hurry. I will also update any individual and specialty score as I go.
EDIT: More things coming up that should influence score changes
New accounts in the last 6 months

So I finally got my first update with a reporting balance from my NavyFed Platinum card.

Aggregate UTI is now at 3% $1,370/39,550
I have 5 cards reporting balances
9.6%, 5.3%, 3.8%, 1.2%, and 78%
The main changes brought between -6 and -21 points bankcard scores being the most sensitive. I am still waiting for DCU to report my updated balance. Which is my largest balance, this one will change both my aggregate thresholds and individual the most.

I now have 4 cards reporting balances
5.3%,1.2%, 78%, & 83%
It looks like I lost 6 points for having an individual card reporting above 80% was worth about 6 points. But I also past 10% aggregate from 3% to 13%. So I am not 100% sure that the points loss was due to one thing.

@Mv350 maybe its because I just woke up, but the title said you're going from maxed cards to paid off cards, but the body of message states you're going from paid to maxed.
Two possibilities here, either I need more caffeine or you transposed things.
I'm hoping I need caffeine, because on a dirty file, that high of utilization will come with pretty steep penalty.
If you're really going from 0% to 85% on individual cards, you've crossed almost all thresholds on individual cards.

Sorry! Reverse that, I have 2 cards that are about to report at ~82%, everything else is at 0 or almost 0. I'm going to be making payments, letting the remainder of the balance report, then make another payment to see where I gain points back. 6 months away from my last negative falling off.
So I finally got my first update with a reporting balance from my NavyFed Platinum card.
