Why is my credit score going down if I pay everything on time?

Why did my credit score go up when nothing changed?
Your credit score may go up for several reasons, and they all have to do with changes to the information on your credit report. Common reasons for a score increase include: a reduction in credit card debt, the removal of old negative marks from your credit report and on-time payments being added to your report.
