I think that was my issue before, but now I understand a little bit better.
I know you said your pay your credit card in full, but, the statement balance each month may vary. It could be that your balance as of the last cycle is a little higher than the previous time you pulled your credit score.
A 5 point decrease may mean a lot to us, but probably not so much with the Lender. I have my fico score dropped by 17 points when I applied for a new credit card, but what can we do, that's how the complicated credit scores and fico scores are being calculated. Everytime, we move an inch, there's a point reduction in our credit scores.
So, don't worry, your score will go up again. As long as you know what's being reported, that's more important.
