Ok folks. I'm finally trying to be an adult and fix my credit. I've been paying down debt and have signed up for apps like Digit, Truebill, and Credit Sesame. I have called and made payment arrangements with most of my debtors. I recently got an alert saying "Great! You've paid down your debt! Keep going!" And then, my score dropped 45 points! Grrrr! I paid off another account and it dropped an additonal 28 points! I'm not understanding why this is happening, except for the fact that my utilization is over 50 percent on my 2, low balance credit cards. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
