I put $3K on my credit card and my credit score plunged. Why is it so volatile?
1. Credit scores fluctuate based on spending habits and credit utilization. 2. Lenders report to bureaus at different times, affecting score reporting. 3. FICO scores consider payment history, amounts owed, and credit diversity. 4. Using more than 30% of the available credit can negatively impact scores. 5. Credit scores are dynamic, responding to changes in credit behavior.
