I had achieved the holy grail of credit usage, a perfect 850 FICO score. Then, I paid off my mortgage.

Once you repay the loan, it’s no longer in the credit mix category.

With time, you should see your score rebound as long as you continue to demonstrate positive credit behaviors such as on-time payments and a manageable level of overall debt, Dornhelm said.

They seldom open new accounts, applying for credit only when necessary.
