Decrease in credit score

I’m confused. I paid off my credit card so why did my credit score decrease?!

You should review your credit reports, which you can get free of charge from the site below, and file a dispute if there are inaccuracies.

Otherwise, minor fluctuations in your score are normal and to be expected.
