https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Closed-Student-Loan-Account-Hurting-My-Score/m-p/128107#M65579 <DIV>I had a student loan account opened 9/1/2002. It was paid in full and closed in May of 2006. The 24 Month history shows 90 days late twice. The company's comment on the account says "Paid, Was 120 Days Late". What are the chances that this is still hurting my score? Do "Late" payments on a closed account still affect your score? If so, how much? I also have 1 revolving account opened 5/1/2003 that has been current since day 1. 2 closed installment loans (one was 30 days late)&nbsp;and one open installment loan opened 12/1/06 that is also current since day 1. Overall I have 3 open accounts with a balance of $12k. $10k of that is in one installment loan. Is my short credit history and small amount borrowed hurting me more than the few late payments?</DIV> Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:36:10 GMT Anonymous 2008-01-07T23:36:10Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Closed-Student-Loan-Account-Hurting-My-Score/m-p/128107#M65579 <DIV>I had a student loan account opened 9/1/2002.
