It sounds like this may have been one of your older credit accounts. Unintended consequence of eliminating debt is that occasionally something like this happens.

Shouldn't be 28 points, though. Something else must be going on. I would go through your credit report with a fine tooth comb.

The one I get through the credit card company doesn't have much detail other than score, debt, credit lines, and payment history.

It was a private loan from a year and a half ago.

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around paying something off being bad.
