score gone DOWN with less debt?
I did a report in Mar. 2008. At the time, my score was 629.
On the 03/08 report there were:
4 accounts in collections
6 active credit accounts (5 cards, one loan)
3 closed credit accounts (with no balance)
2 inquiries
I did one today, the score had dropped to 541!!
And on the report now is:
2 accounts in collections
4 active credit accounts (3 cards, one loan)
3 closed credit accounts (with no balance)
1 inquiry (from 04/2008)
Also, the total amount of debt went down.
So why the heck is this score worse???
I swear the score is so bogus.....
Also, it has a credit account listed as closed, but it is in fact active. What do I need to do to have this corrected?
Thanks.

Innaccuracies on your report can always be disputed by requesting verification of the line item.
That is odd that your scores have gone down... it sure seems to me that your scores would go up based on what you posted.

There's not really enough information to judge, but one thing that certainly jumps out at me is the fact that you went from 5 open cards to 3.
You closed two cards. If they had history, that is probably it. You just lowered the overall age of your account history which counts for a lot of points. I've seen people drop almost 100 points by closing accounts.
