Best Answer

If a consumer does multiple inquiries into their credit file, your score will drop, especially if your inquires are from credit card companies.

The theory is: a consumer may not have enough money and needs more credit to sustain his/here lifestyle which bring in more debt, thus applying for more credit.

Your best bet would be to close those older credit cards. While it may take some time, your credit score can be improved.

Once you pay off a high balance on a credit card how soon will that affect your credit score?

Once you have paid the credit card balance off it will affect your score the following month. This is because the credit agencies only update your credit once a month. So the month following the payment would reflect the new balance of $0 and the score would be raised at that time.

Does refinancing an auto loan affect your credit score?

the only thing about applying for a new loan that can affect your credit rating is having the credit score done by new companies. if you have a score done by just two companies that's fine but if you have multiple credit checks this lowers your credit rating. so as long as you ran your previous loan well and paid on time, changing shouldn't be a problem, just don't let lots of companies credit check you. choose one and stick if possible.
