It should be illegal for creditors to lower your credit score for paying off a loan in full with no late payments. It’s a deliberately predatory practice designed to keep everyone in the cycle

“You made 12 on-time payments! Increase 5 points!”… “you were 1 day late on this minimum payment. Lose 27 points”

You closed an account you’ve had for 20-30 years. Now your credit age is 5 years old

And this system was set up by companies with no governmental input. They just decided these are the rules, and the government doesn’t do anything.

Then let's base every damn aspect of your life on this random score. From renting to getting a cell phone or internet plan.

My bank kept my credit limit super low for several years despite amazing credit. I got a mortgage and my credit score dropped 30 points, and then they doubled my credit card limit.

It sounds dumb- but then technically isn't the best thing for your credit is to get a bunch of low loans (optimistically keeping interest to a few cents a month) and paying minimal amounts to keep it perpetually? Where would someone go to do that?

Oh yeah, don’t close an old card. Apparently my JC Penny’s card I got back in 1993 is the only thing keeping me from total financial ruin.

Ope. You didn’t use a credit card for awhile. The company closed it for you. Down you go!
