just for data points , my experian reported cap one auto loan paid (closed today):
FICO 2 reacted positively, while FICO 8 reacted negatively.
As shown below, I did not really lose/gain points.
btw - I still have two loans reporting
What was your before/after installment loan utilization? That's the factor that needs to be looked at here, along with one less account with a balance. The closure of a loan in and of itself if you have other open loans isn't an adverse scoring factor, as you still will have recent installment loan information.
before aggregrate utilization = 42%
after aggregrate utilization = 52%
So it was obvious the auto loan closure will not have much impact on me
