Ever heard of this? Real report?
Does not say FICO so expect FAKO scores.

I called Amex to remove a closed account from my report as I was only a AU, they said we'll have a supervisor call you in the next 24-48 hours and he'll be able to delete it. It's now a week since then and I didn't receive no call.
Will it be deleted? Anyone had such experience?

How badly would credit be impacted having a statement close with 2.5k balance, On an account that's always been closing with $2 balance?

Does the credit utilization part of my credit score have a connection from month to month or each month is a separate eval? Basically, if I have high utilization now but low next month, will my score be lower next month because of the high utilization this month? TIA!!
If you are trying to get my attention/assistance and I'm not responding, please feel free to PM me. :)

its a month to month evaluation. They do not take into account the previous months utilization

That's great. Thanks.

Late payments do effect the score for more than just one month though, correct?

yes late payments stay on the record for a long time not sure exactly how long it could be as little as 2 years or even up to 7 years

How many points do you lose every time they pull your credit?
