Will my credit sccore dopping 5 points matter?

It depends whether your lender has already obtained your credit report. Remember, credit card companies report once a month and the balance on the most recently ended statement. Payments made will not reflect on the report until reported again. 5 points usually is not a big deal, but depends whether it puts you in a different tier (usually 20 point increments: 600-619; 620-639; etc. If it drops from 780 to 775 no big deal. In general, the better your score the better the interest rate may be and PMI costs for conventional loans change as well.)

It depends. Every lender and loan product has a minimum credit score. Additionally, pricing improves at every 20-point tier. 620, 640, 660, etc. A 5 point drop within the same tier (or range) will likely produce no negative effects. However, If the score does drop you to a lower tier, resulting in poorer pricing, or takes you below the acceptable minimum score, then we can generally do what is known as a Rapid Rescore and get your score back.

Yes, no and maybe. For the most part, no. If the lender already pulled your credit report, they are no looking again unless the report gets really old. Next, unless it dropped below the minimum for a specific loan program, it doesn't matter. If you had for example, a 745 score, and now it is 730 - that means nothing. If on the other hand, you had a 642, and the score dropped to 637 when the program minimum is 640, then you are denied. But again,. if the lender already pulled credit, it doesn't matter.
