    Paying a debt off early doesn’t really help your credit that much, maybe a few points, depending on your monthly payment vs income. They manipulate scores to justify higher interest rates by changing debt limits on credit cards and other measuring sticks that we aren’t privy to. With the exception of a home mortgage or car loan, avoid all other debt. Carrying a large debt BUYS a credit score, a savings account EARNS a credit score.
    Paying off the car early will save about $1,600 interest ($25,000 car @ 9%, 3 yrs). That’s money in your pocket and not the lender’s. If it was a used car, your interest savings would be much less, but still it’s a savings.
    Then readjust your withholding. You don’t need to let the government borrow money from you interest free.

    Hi, my name is Amanda fisher, i was in serious need of financial aid due to the current global financial melt down finding such was very difficult. i was so desperate even to the extent that i got scammed to the tune of eight thousand dollars.($10,000 dollars).
    But God finally came to my rescue when i came across Mr William Smith who eventually secured for me the loan that i have so desperately wanted. You can reach him via email on

    N.B; Please be careful while searching for financial assistance because there are fraudsters surfing the internet looking for people to swindle of their hard earned money

    it will defiantly will, the report will show that you had a loan and it was paid in full as agreed which is the best

    Auto finance is what I do for a living and since you have already made 1-years worth of payments you have received most of the credit score wise for this loan, so go ahead and pay it off and save yourself some interest.

    no, if you want to save money, then pay it off. If you want to build credit, then keep it open for at least 24 months and have 3 credit line open: Installment (you already have), revolving (credit card) and/or student loan..
