Loan for stocks

I recently applied a recieved a loan for 7k to pay for some stocks (at a very reduced rate) from my company. I will have the loan paid off in 30 days. Will this make my credit score drop due to this being a new account? Also will my score go up when the account is paid off?

Hello and welcome to the forums.

 

You'll probably take a minor hit for a new inquiry and a new credit account showing up. And this will also lower of your AAoA (Average Age of Accounts).

 

Just paying it off won't raise your score back up. It will be considered a new account for about a year. After you pay it off and it is closed it will continue reporting for up to 10 years which helps your credit length history and AAoA.

Sorry, C-Chedda,

 

Could you clarify???  Did you receive a loan from your company, or buy some stocks from your company?

I'm curious - If you took a loan out from a bank or cu that reports the loans; or if you took out a loan from a retirement fund or some such that you have with your company that would not be reporting the loan???

I agree.  It'll depend on what else is showing on your accounts.

Sometimes what remains on your reports is just as crucial as what is gone. That 1 year old 90 day late is a real score killer IMO and will remain so for quite some time. How long? You'll get different opinions about that but a 90 day late is considered a major derogatory.

Re: Loan for stocks

But shouldn't my score go up after about a year of paying my bills on time?
