The bureaus get the balance and limit when your statement comes out. You can avoid the 30 day drop if you pay down the balance before the statement. That closed or unreported HELOC increased the balance to limit percentage. I think it’s measured as an overall percentage and only applies to revolving accounts, not installment loans, but the amount of installment loans affects your score.
