Now Only Have 1 Type Of Credit

Hi All

Up until last wednesday, I had CC debt, truck loan, boat loan and jetski loan - A pretty good credit mix. I got a bonus from work and paid off all loans except a small credit card balance - I guess this will hurt my scores? I am saving over $1200 a month by doing this, so I thought it was a good thing to do? What do you think?

Finances over FICO.

Financially, zero debt is good.

FICO scoring, algorithm likes to see one open Installment loan with utilization at 8.9% or lower for maximum points. Not knowing your complete credit report, you could possibly loose some points.
