Once a balance is paid down to zero on a credit balance is it advantageous to close the account formally or will the zero balance be sufficient to show that the item has been closed?

If the card is paid off and you aren't using the card, that doesn't mean you should close the account; in fact, doing so can hurt your credit score (i.e., the score that tells companies whether you are a good candidate to loan money to). These companies, when they look at your credit report, want to see a few things: 1) Do have a history of credit being extended to you? They want to see a long history, which is why you should NEVER close the account for the credit card you've had the longest, even if you never plan to use it again: keeping the account open keeps it on your credit history, showing that you've have credit for a while. 2) Do you have multiple types of credit (credit cards, mortgage, car loan, cell phone, student loan, etc.)? They like to see a mix 3) How much of your credit do you use? They like to see that you use no more than around 30% of the credit available to you. For example, let's say you have two credit cards--one with a $10000 limit, one with a $20000 limit--and so, you have $30000 of available credit. You owe $5000 on the card with a $10000 limit and $0 on the $20000 card. That means you're using about 17% of your available credit ($5000 of $30000). That's fine. But let's say you close your $20000 card. Now, all of a sudden, you're using $5000 of $10000 in available credit--50%. That looks horrible--like you are living beyond your means, getting by on credit, even though you owe THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY as you did when you had $30000 of credit. But, by closing the account, you jacked up your debt ratio past 30%, making you look like a poor manager of credit. People will be less likely to offer you credit now, and they'll offer you worse interest rates when they do. In other words, paying off the card is sufficient. Just make sure you don't run up additional credit card debt that you can't pay off in full every month, or all your hard work will have been for nothing.

Why is having a long credit history with a few blemishes that were corrected better than a short history that is clear?

Simply because... with a long credit history, a prospective lender can see how you have operated your credit facility over a considerable period. Nobody's credit history is perfect - everyone has at least 1 or 2 lapses on their record. Having just a short credit history doesn't show 'trends' or patterns of (perhaps) persistent late payments.

What makes your credit score go up?

Credit scores look at all the typical things. Do you have any credit accounts? You gotta have credit to have a credit score. How long have you had credit? What is your credit history like? Do you pay on-time or do you have significant delinquencies and defaults? A credit report is, in the simplest of terms, a history of how you have managed debt in the past. If that history is positive you will have a high score. If you have a history of not managing debt well, your score will reflect that. Aside from the simplicities, there are tips and tricks to help raise scores. But those won't work if you don't understand and practice the basics; namely, to borrow, then pay back, on time.


How long is a credit history visible?

The information on the credit report is available up to seven years, both positive and negative. Some collection agencies though can fulfill your request to remove a negative collection in return for a full payment and a lot of people have done this despite it being illegal. The best that you can do to balance out a negative collection is to improve on other aspects of your report. I found ways to do that here http://www.myfreecreditreportx.com/how-to-improve-your-credit-score-fast
