But obviously it would be better financially to pay them off if you can. I guess it comes down to which is more important to you - do you need the improved score for new credit purposes? If not, I'd probably just pay them off to free up the extra money every month (you could start putting the $$ that would have gone to payments into a nice savings account, like ING Direct)...I don't think you're going to see the same score increase from paying off installments that you would from paying off revolving.Just my .02.
