If you can figure out how credit scoring works, please let me know. I don't even begin to try to understand.

It takes time to verify. Customers could have filed a dispute which takes at least 40 days most of the time. All 3 agencies work at different rates and don't all report the same thing. Deliquency is only one factor. They might have a new 30 day late, but also paid down balances on 2 or 3 other accounts.

Maybe the reports of the late payments haven't gotten to the credit agency yet.

Not a clue.  I'd guess it hasn't impacted it yet or they're playing some kind of game to keep it up.

Perhaps she has opened several accounts with low balances, hence lowering her debt ratio?

There is likely an old past due account that is continuing to report as late and as time goes on it is getting later and later and more penalty points. Research it and find which it is and get it paid. This is my best guess.

Increasing their total available credit (amount they can charge) on various credit card accounts. The ratio of amount owed to amount available makes a big difference in the FICO score.

It takes time to report ... and all agencies work differently. When you figure out the credit system ... can it and sell it. You can then retire!

Good morning Sally. If the mortgage is not being paid, it's literally impossible for credit scores to increase, unless the mortgage is not being reported for some reason.

Credit score calculation algorithms are proprietary to the credit score companies and are dependent upon numerous factors.  There are many credit scores.  Therefore, it is not possible to answer without a lot more information.

I have never seen that. I see more of the opposite especially when you have inquiries for more credit.

Great question. I never see a clients credit score personally. The lender gets authorization from the client to share the information if it is relevent to me.
