Question

Would paying off a auto loan boost my credit or keep it stable?  the reason why is I have $1250.00 left to pay on it.  I read it doesn't do nothing.

Re: Question

You probably wouldn't see much from paying it off.  There is a separate utilization for installment TLs but they factor very little into your score.
