Cap 1 Plat sec 99%

BofA 42%
furniture account 53%
Jared 6%
Kay's 4%

Overall: 47%
After PIF reports: under 25%

Only the furniture account with carry a balance this month (under 50%).

That's a nice paydown.  Update your scores as they post to see the incremental changes if you have the ability

Re: Took 1 card to 96% utilization...

UPDATE:  Received a 14pt increase on ESP.  Utility went to 95% (overall stayed at 30%).

 

But, my last baddie fell off too, a 30 day late 6.9 years old.  I didn't think 1 30 day late falling off would increase that much.  I didn't thin 95% was a threshold.  

 

In any event with those 2 changes, I gained 14 pts.  The other 2 haven't updated yet.  EQ will be good to see because that last 30 day late is still on there.

Thanks.  I didnt realize 1 old 30 day late had that type of impact.

I would actually expect a bit more. Or at least, I would credit all this point gain to the baddie falling off. No other baddies remain now?

Been tons of posts in the past suggesting 30 day lates were effectively no impact past the 2 year mark.

 

I'm actually kinda surprised too.

No impact meaning someone with one 30-day late as the only baddie at 30 months reported an 800 score?

This was my understanding too.  Maybe something else contributed, like card was at 98%, now at 95%.  Don't know if 95% is a threshold of some sort
