down, debt increases (interesting stats)  Credit card issuers
started issuing new cards again, and banks started lending
again.   Why wouldn't they expect people's score to go down when
slews of folks were opening up new tradelines?  Seems like an
obvious cause and effect to me.   Quoting from the article:
"Yet, the average credit card debt in Florida fell considerably
– to $5,916, from $6,919. This followed the national trend."
 Revolving utilization has trended to be much more important for
one's credit score than installment debt amounts.   Take the
