I'm with the last couple, if the mortgage person is telling you to pay it off and you are looking to make that home purchase in the next 6 months, don't play around with trying to get things reporting correctly in the weeks before trying to do this, just pay it off now and get it done, 1 less thing to worry about... especially if it's that close to approve or not approve.
