paying off loan

i currently have 3 credit cards 2 with cap one 1 with first progress pending a credit one and amazon store card.  i have two open autos currently and one installment loan.   I also have 12k in student debt that is not scheduled to start repayment to next year.  My Score has gone up from 450s last year mid year to current low 600s at the moment on regular fico scores.  

 

will paying off the installment loan hurt my score dramatically?  still have 12 payments left on it

Re: paying off loan

Paying that off should not affect you at all. Your auto loans will fill that spot in FICO's credit mix scoring.

It should not make a difference one way or the other. You will improve your DTI, but thats not really a part of the FICO scoring, its just something lenders sometimes look at.
