2 open auto loans...paying off 1

Will my score go down if i pay off this auto loan? I have 2 open. March 2015 is still going to be open and one from Jan 2016 i want to pay off this week. My scores are not good and i would hate to lower them even more. The interest rate is ridiculous.

Re: 2 open auto loans...paying off 1

A few things to consider:

1. If it saves you money, pay it off.

2. You will still have another auto trade line so you should be OK there....

3. I found that anytime I pay off an installment tradeline I get a few point ding but nothing drastic and the effect is transient.

4. Keeping the longer auto loan open will be better than paying it off as you should have a higher percentage paid off. But see #1 when it come to deciding.

Good luck...
