Congrats on paying off your card every month. However that is not what credit utilization refers to and this is a fairly significant factor in most people's score. Did you run up charges on a card or cards around the same time you applied for these others?

Even if you pay them off like you are supposed to, your score can suffer as you look like an increased risk.
