Yes ... and ... No. If that amount is left month-to-month, it may seem that you are "over extended" and unable to payoff your credit card bill(s). On the other hand, you might consider paying the entire balance off and leave it at zero for a couple months, then try leaving a little balance (surely not thousands of dollars) carry over every once in awhile.

I pay all mine off each month, and my credit score has risen steadily over the past few years ... so it might also depend on other factors, too.

If a collection agency is after a small amount of debt and you pay that amount in full how will this payment improve your credit score?

It can improve your credit score a little, but to make the best improvement possible contact them and negotiate to have them remove their listing on your credit reports completely in exchange for your payment in full. This will help your credit FICO score the most.

If I don't use my credit card for a long time and the credit card complany decides to close my account will that look bad on my credit report?

It will remove the available amount of credit from your total sum of available credit. Chances are if it was only a very small amount(like a $1,000.00 or less) it won't make a difference. However if it was a larger amount that will reduce your available credit ratio/vs debt, that could drop your score.

Ok when you check your credit score there is a negative impact, but it is so small that it really won't lower your score at all. If it lowered your score that much everyone would have bad credit considering all the places that check your credit throughout the year. So it is okay to check your credit, it will not hurt it.
