Will paying down auto loan hurt score?
gdtobefree replied to gdtobefree's topic in Automotive Financing
All of my credit cards have zero balances. I owe more on my car than it's worth. Trade in right now is 6 to 8,000 and I owe $16,000. I wanted to pay it down so when I traded in it will be paid off. I know if I pay it off in full right now it would hurt my score. I financed it in 2018. -
Here's my dilemma, I want to pay down as much as I can on my current auto loan to trade in this vehicle on a new one. I currently owe $16, 000 and I want to pay $10, 000 on that loan will it hurt my credit score? I know paying it off will certainly hit my score.

Current list, The construction to perm loan kicked off in August 2020, that's why I'm having a hard time finding a lender to do it. I called all of them on the list and they have heard about them but haven't done any and automatically jump to their construction terms.
-
Those are called Direct Loans and I don't qualify, income is too high.

I want to use USDA RD OTC to buy land and build a house. I cannot find one lender that does this loan. I have talked to USDA and they gave me a list of lenders. I called everyone one of them and none of them do this type of loan. It's supposed to be zero down but they all want 25-30% down. Is this an impossible program?

they pull a soft inquiry every month on the last day of the month and have for the last 2 years. Any account I had with them is past the reporting SOL, so why do they keep pulling my reports?

As you all know, I have been trying to get squeaky clean reports so I can apply for a mortgage and how EQ was being a bear about EE. Well, when all else fails send them a LETTER asking for EE. Short and simple and to the point, nothing long drawn out or a play for sympathy. Dear EQ, RE: Early exclusion request I am so and so, Please note I am not disputing the validity of these accounts nor any information reported in their regard I am humbly asking EQ to grant EE on the above accounts (target and world finance) for the following reason: These accounts are too old to be reported. Thank you in advance for your time and attention in this matter. IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of them are GONE!!!!!!! 0 Balances on all credit cards too. All 3 reports CLEAN! TU 742 Fico EX 731 EX EQ 747 Fico Can we say "Home for the Holidays"? YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Makes sense. I guess holding in to your oldest trade line isn't such a good idea unless it is spotless.

I had a vehicle that was paid off back in Dec 2015 with my credit union It was my oldest account 10 yrs and 5 months. It was deleted from Transunion and my score went up 20 pts! It did have some lates from 2013 to 2015. Was it the lates that were holding my score down? They are also on my EQ could that be holding that score down too? Now, I did talk to the manager at the CU (been a member for 35 years) and asked since I am trying to buy a house if they could remove the lates and he told me to dispute the account as never late and he just wouldn't respond and they would be removed. ( I have done disputed it yet).

No nooooooo app spree except for a mortgage. Unpaid COs. I would rather clean reports that way no questions arise from underwriting and I can get the lowest rate possible.
-
As of today Experian removed the last CO and is clean as a whistle. If only I could get EQ to follow suit and take off the last 2 early. I have had 0 luck with EQ last 2 due to drop in Nov and Dec. I'm sooooooo close to being able to apply for a mortgage. I WANT A HOME!!!!
