I have one credit card and always pay it off

it's basically pointless for me to even have it

shouldn't I have a good credit score just based on the fact that I don't have to lean on anyone for loans?

like what?

why is everything such bullshit lol

I am about ready to be done with this Earth

Depends also on how much of your credit availability is used at the time they took the snapshot. Are you about to borrow a lot of money? If not, who really cares what your credit score is? Within reason, I mean. I don't care if mine floats around in a range. It varies for the reasons I said.

The fact that your credit score apparently had at least 80 points of room to go up is a self-pwnt.

you credit score litterally goes up when you take out loans and pay them on time.

it goes down when you pay things off and elimate loans.

make it make sense.

You won’t like this answer because credit ratings are dumb but the reason your credit is bouncing is because you have a low denominator in your outstanding debt/available credit ratio. Creidit agencies usually are checking your balances once a month. If they check on the day before you pay off your card your ratio will be higher lowering your score. The only way to smooth out these swings is increase the denominator (get more credit). The best way to do this is ask for a line increase on your current card (usually no hard credit check). Option two would be to open another line. This will piss you off more in the short term because it will hardcheck you and lower your average age of credit which will temporarily lower your credit more. In my experience this drop recovers in less than 6 months. Sorry there isn’t a better answer but it sounds pretty clear that this is what is happening.
