I just checked my Amex FICO score and it shows a 6 point decrease in my credit score from a month ago when I have had no pulls and no late payments during the month. What might have happened?
higher balances?

Perhaps a little bit higher...but that seems like a big drop in a month

A change of pattern in your utilization does make a difference , Even if it didn't take up that much more %

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I haven't called since a high school. Those prank calls were a great way to waste time back then.

But seriously is there a number to call about credit score?

Haven't done that since elementary. I think we used to do it by the payphones in the train station.

There are numbers in the wiki, but you're best off checking your report yourself. If there's anything inaccurate there, them you can call.

Lol. I think in 9th grade we were still doing it. One of their reps threatened to call police on us claiming to know where we were calling from.
