How does a credit score increase or decrease each month and by how many points?

The majority of credit scores don't increase or decrease every month, largely because the person is in what is known as "steady state" or equilibrium where their patterns of credit use and payment are balanced over time.
There are, however, millions of correct answers to this question, depending on the individual. For instance, if someone missed a payment in the last month (but kept up future and all other payents), their credit score will lower by 25 to 50 points in a month, and then slowly increase over a 12-24 month period.
Perhaps someone had been carrrying a balance on a card and paid that card off. Their credit score would go up after the card was paid off, however, barring any other activities, there would be no changes in the months that follow.

How often does the credit bureau update beacon scores and by how many points?
Credit bureaus don't update your credit scores. They update your credit reports. It is a third party company (FICO, Beacon) who processes the information on your credit reports and produces your credit scores. I have continuous real-time access to my Equifax score, and it updated once at the end of February, and then increased by a point in Mid-March. So I'm going to say twice a month based on my experience with accessing my Equifax Fico Score. I can't be certain about the other two bureaus. Basic credit information is reported and updated (usually once a month, sometimes less frequently) by the creditors. Your credit score is a calculation based on that data. The calculation is only performed when a score is requested. So, your score would be updated only upon request.

How and when do points get added to your credit score?
Unlike your raw credit data, which is added to and updated on (at least) a monthly basis; credit scores are a calculation that is only performed when requested. The calculation is based on ALL the factors that are showing in your credit. Techniques to Improve your Credit Scores: 1. Always pay accounts in a timely manner. 2. 2-4 revolving accounts increase scores. The length of time they have been open is important, so is usage. You need to use them every month. But, keep the balance below 30% of whatever your credit limit is. 3. Control and limit inquiries. I don't know how you are "checking" your score. You might be doing more harm than good. "Hard" inquiries cause a 4 point deduction. 4. The type of accounts matter. Even one finance account can cause a deduction, even if the account is paid as agreed. Credit scores are a numerical computation of your perceived risk as a borrower based on the information in your credit report. The riskier you look the lower your score. The better you stack up to people who pay their bills on time, the higher your score.

determine the simple interest rate at which $2400 will grow to $2590 in 10 month?
2590/2400 gives us 1.079166666666667, or a roughly 8% increase in that time. If we want an 8% increase in 10 months with a simple (non-compounding) interest rate, then it must rise by 8/10 = 0.8% per month.

How does a derogatory mark affect credit score in points over a year?
I check my friend's credit score monthly as I manage her finance for her. Addition of 1 derogatory mark (account went to collections and got reported to the TransUnion) resulted in a whopping 27 points drop in credit score. Next month the score went up by 13 points and a month after that by another 10 points. Third month after derogatory mark appearing on the credit report, the the score is 4 points lower than it was prior to getting the mark.
How bad is my credit due to unpaid credit cards?
You credit score will decrease significantly if you do not pay your minimum credit card payment every month. Unpaid cards will be reported as delinquent and really destroy your score.
How much will my credit score improve if?
If you file bankruptcy it'll drop 100 points from whatever it is now and your interest rates on loans you take out will be high. If you get 3 credit cards and use half of your credit one month on two of the cards and then pay them off the next month and on the month that you paid off the 2 cars you use up the credit on the 3rd card, your credit score will increase within 3-4 months at least 20 points. If you take out a secured loan with your bank where you pay the bank $2000 cash and take a loan out on your own money for 6 months your credit score will increase 15-35 points in that timeframe. If you own stocks in the stock market (minimum for the NASDAQ/NYSE is a $2000 account) your credit rating will rise. If you purchase a car on a loan that takes up most of your income, your risk of default is high, which you'd then lose about 50 points on a defaulted car loan if you did end up defaulting (its not the best way to improve your credit). If you have at least 3 lines of credit and a bank account your credit will improve around 30 points. Combining these 'If' scenerios together will not add points to your score exactly. However, having more open accounts of Asset compared to Credit accounts will improve your score dramatically over time.
