    Wouldn’t scores fall earlier than that as more people utilized their credit lines and their credit: debt ratio changed? I’m sure the impact is much less than missing payments, but I think that would be an important thing to monitor for trends

      Assuming lots of people are sitting on lines of credit they’re not using, I suppose. But unless you’re nearing your max your credit score actually goes up if you’re regularly making payments on outstanding debt.
