Ok I have an auto loan balance is only 1200 ish. The question is should I pay off the car loan early or not.
Background information:
one student loan 25K never late
one student loan 2500 late once but that is in dispute
car loan 1200 three lates. (Pay off early or not)
Should I pay it off? Paying it off would bring me down to only two installment account with a monthly payment of 150$, or keep it open to lengthen my on time payment history? With the auto loan I have 438 monthly obligation, no problems paying on time.
I due have three credit cards, one target card with a balance of 70$, and cap one card that has a 0 balance. I do have a closed credit card with a balance of 579, it was closed two years ago due to missing three payments (bad planning when I had my child.) I have 4 collection accounts with no balances, I have disputed them but they have been verified as mine. I am going to send off GW letters for them.
So my real question is wait to pay off the auto loan and pay more interest to lengthen my on time pays, or pay it off and shift my money to my Closed credit card? Help is really need on this.
Also will paying off my Auto loan increase my Fico Score?
