Can I improve my credit score by paying off pass loans on my credit?

I have over 14,000.00 of debt . Should I pay them off and will this raise my credit score.

Can I improve my credit score by paying off pass loans on my credit?

Yes you should always pay off debt if you can. As you say if your just paying off a debt and their are no other issues (like bankruptcy etc.) then keep in mind that when you pay off your debt it may not show up right away when you pull your credit. Some companies take several months before the information is posted to all 3 credit bureaus. Make sure you keep ALL receipts and documentation of paying off this debt and any type of confirmation they give you confirming it has been paid off completely. (I highly suggest that if you are paying your debt off in the mail to get a signed receipt in case you need to prove they received it.) All this will save you a huge headache and hours of phone calls. Make sure you don%26#039;t have your credit pulled up more than once (MAAAYBE twice) in a short period of time. That is a red flag IF you have your credit scores pulled up too many times.

When you pay off your debt (say it%26#039;s a credit card) don%26#039;t close the account. That way they can see that you have paid it off and you don%26#039;t have any outstanding debt and that you pay it off regularly.

Hope this helps!

Lower debit means more credit to work with.

Can I improve my credit score by paying off pass loans on my credit?

yeah but be careful of which old debts you pay. the debts stay on your reports for 7 years from date of last activity so if you have an old debt unpaid and ignored from 61/2 years ago it will be coming off soon. whereas if you pay it today it will remain on your report for another 7 years from the date you paid it ( the last activity) and it will still show the negative rating with only a slight improvement on your score if even any.

Can I improve my credit score by paying off pass loans on my credit?

well that really depends on the situation. First are you continually paying on this debt or did you let it all build up by not paying on it if that is the case by you paying it off it could actually lower your score because it will up date information on your credit report if you are on good terms then yes paying it off will absolutely make your credit score rise. If you have fallen behind then make sure you get it in writing from the creditor that if you pay it off they will take it of your credit, you can also negioate 50 cents on the dollar with these guys, but remember get it in writing dont trust some creditor over the phone

I have10k in debt. I have not paid anything off because it is more than 6 years old and next year it will clear off my credit report.

What I did do was get 1 secured credit card and 1 unsecured credit card. They earch only have a $350 credit limit. But I pay on time every time.

In six months my score went from a 532 to a 614.
