Does paying off credit cards hurt your credit score?

Paying off credit cards can actually help improve your credit score by reducing your overall debt and showing responsible financial behavior.


How can paying down your credit cards lower your credit score?

Paying down your credit cards won't lower your scores-- but paying off and closing the credit cards will lower the scores. You want to show that your cards are not maxed out and you have plenty of room between the credit limit and the balance .


If you close out some of your credit card accounts and continue to pay them off will that increase your credit score?

You should not close a credit card if you are still paying on it. It will bring your credit score down. Close it when you are done paying. I know this because my mom owns her own credit repair/management business and she tells me what to do with my credit cards.


How does paying by credit card affect your other credit cards?

Generally, paying by credit card does not impact your other credit cards UNLESS you are attempting to get a credit line increase on one of those other credit cards. When you use your credit card, depending on the timing of credit bureau reporting, your credit score may be negatively impacted if you have a balance (whether paid off in full each month or not) that is equal or greater than 30% of the card's credit line. In this case, the score may have been impacted enough where the other credit card company may not grant a credit limit increase.
