Score penalty for paying off PLoan, TF!!!

   Just sharing my personal exp. for future analysis. 7 months ago, I open a personal loan for credit card debt consolidation; I thought that since it's only been a couple of months my Fico scores were still being  negative impacted [+harm than help]...wrong!

Anyway, my goal was to start the year debt free except for my car lease, by achieving that I've got a penalty of 19 points! 
   By the way, those wondering if I have other loans in the mix; my car lease has been paid down to 85% [25% utilization], AZEO on my cards. 19 points doesn't seem right for paying off a loan of 7mo history. So glad I took that heavy 11% interest off my shoulders though.

When your car loan is paid down to 9% you'll probably get those points back.

I was about to ask that question, thanks for giving me hope.

@SouthJamaica 

I found out the hit came from having all my cards at 0 balance [only Experian]. I forgot Chase reports when you pay the total balance, not just when statement closes... rookie's mistake.

This morning I checked and see Chase finally posted on EX, regained 15 points out of the 19. Also, stress level has come down :)This morning I checked and see Chase finally posted on EX, regained 15 points out of the 19. Also, stress level has come down Smiley Happy

@Yasselife only here would a 741 be a point of stress!  The bureaus LOVE when we're in debt... but nit too much. Nicey-nice.
