How many points will your credit score increase if you pay off your student loan?

Probably not very much. Credit scores are built around paying on time, how much you currently owe, and how long you've had credit. Paying off a loan won't raise your score much, but an on-time paying history for that loan will be a real good thing for your score and report once it appears.


How much does your credit score go up if you pay on time?

It just doesn't go up. If you have always paid on time and kept your debt down, then your credit score will remain consistent. If you've had a few late months and paid on time for a while after that it can rise by as much as 30 points or more, but remember, credit is looked at over TIME.


What can bring down your credit score?

you credit score will go down if you are not paying your monthly bills on time, in order for you to increase your credit score you have to pay your credit bills on time or in full.


Will co signing hurt your credit score if the payments are made ontime?

Provided the payments are made on time, no this will not hurt your credit score. If the person you are co-signing for doesn't make the proper payments on time and you cover the payments so that they are in full and on time, your credit score will be fine. The only concern is if the payments aren't made on time or in full your credit score will be hurt as much as the person's for whom you are co-signing. In essence, co-signing a loan means you take responsibility for making sure the other person will make the proper payments on time and in full.


Does paying your car loan on time raise my credit score?

Paying a debt on time improves your credit score if you had previously not been paying on time (or not at all!)
