The stop on student loan payments until September doesn’t have any sort of effect on your credit score, correct? My score dropped a few points and I can’t figure out why??

Could you share your excel ?

Did you credit card usage increase month over month? Even if you pay them off in full by the due date, the statement balance still reports to your credit. This is the largest driver for short term credit score changes month to month.

I actually recommend to you all since your probably mathematically inclined. I reversed engineered the credit model to better understand it.

It should let you know why it dropped, log into one of your banks and check your score through them to see, or a credit card - really most banks give some insight to scores.

Sometimes they change the algorithms which changes the scores minimally

Did it say something along the lines of loan deferment? Credit karma said that for me one week and then it was automatically erased a week later. I think it only changed like 2 points so didn’t really matter anyway

It took me approximately 2-3 hours using excel. I would say it was well worth it because it’s no longer a mystery to me and I understand each component and the repercussions.

I found several things to do that were very easy to improve mine

Just be financially sound and pay your bills. IMO worrying about your credit is really just an exercise in futility. Not a whole lot will change and it won’t significantly affect 96% of people

Hello All,

I have made my tax payment in July 2022 but yesterday (15 Nov 2022) I receive an email that tax payment is due for assessment year 2022-23

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.
