    So I checked my history and you’re right, over the last 2 years the wildest swings I’ve had have been ±20, but I also haven’t spent wildly on the cards like I used to, not exceeding 50% utilized in this timeframe.

    But I think a mortage being a secured loan probably reduces impact too.

    (I’m not a banker or finance person, just someone who’s watched their score rollercoaster on apps in my less responsible youth lol)

      Are you checking your credit score through your bank? My bank offers that kind of thing but it’s not all that accurate. I see mine go up and down Randomly. I paid off loan early and it dropped about 10 26 points. It went back up, and is usually always hovering around the same spot.

      Edit: actually went down 26 points during the month I paid off some Loans,holy shit
