I recently went from my only open loan, a Self loan at 1.8 years at 10.x% reducing balance to 9.3% and FICO 8 loved it, but FICO 2 didn't care. Then the loan closed and FICO 8 hated it, but again FICO 2 didn't care. Now I have 2 closed loans, one being an 18.x yr old student loan and F2 isn't generating a loan error code. I only have 3 visible (Short Acct History, Seeking Credit, Many new Accts) and CCT is happy to show me 4 if I have them, plus my score didn't budge. It is generating an F8 error code. (Short Acct History, then No Loan Activity) The rest are repressed due to my score being 'too high') Not sure if that story and data points were necessary, but does anyone know what the mortgage scores like regarding loan data?

I know the mortgage scores should like closed loans as opposed to open ones, b/c they like $0 balances and an open loan doesn't have a $0 balance. I'm not surprised that EX2 didn't react to balance-to-loan ratio dropping below 9.5%, since that's a score-boosting technique that takes advantage of a metric that's only present in FICO8 & 9.

Yeah the mortgage scores don’t really care about loan utilization. There are isolated exceptions, but for the most part they don’t care. there has been a report of a super old loan being closed costing a few points from a reputable source, but again those are very far and few between. I believe that person had a pretty thin profile.
