I can only speak for myself but i've found that paying off a loan early usually results in an increase in scores not to mention your saving interest on the loan.
On your CR usually it will reflex as payed early
Hope this helps you

I currently pay a loan for the amount of 3,000 dollars. The loan was given on march 2012 by a credit union and the purpose was for credit history. I have perfect payments and this week I have the capacity to pay in full. Right now I own a mortgage, walmart store card and the loan, 'm wondering if paying in full the loan would benefit me somehow. I pulled yesterday my annual credit report and there are no baddies, collections, etc and my current TU FICO Score is 707 (I don't know eq and exp never bought the scores)
I plan on buying a car at the end of this year or maybe on 2014, there's no hurry at the moment.
My question is: Is this a good move for me? Would benefit me and my credit history/score?
Thanks in advance!
The overall effect is minimal in the grand scheme but the longer you run it out the more it will help you auto enhanced FICO. They are more heavily slanted towards installment history than the plain jain FICO.
Is the interest rate low? If the rate is above 5%.. consider paying it off.
Otherwise I agree with boomhower that you could continue the payments until the loan is paid off.
I actually would pay it off if I were in your shoes. You met your goal with the loan; done its job so kick it to the curb. I like paying off installment loans early; that's just how I roll.
