Credit Karma
I paid off my car loan in early July. It wasn't scheduled to be done until Nov 2017. The bank closed the auto loan account obviously, and whammo...Credit Karma is saying I took a 60-something point hit
WTF. That's going to take an insane amount of time to heal 60 points. Did the bank report the account closing wrong, as if it were closed for a bad reason? Is Credit Karma full of shit? |

It changes your utilization. 30% of your credit is factored in with how much you owe and how much credit you are using. It's the stupidest thing ever. Then entire credit system is broken and takes way to long to recover from something.

A quick Google search tells me that this is normal. Closed accounts (even paid in full ones) lower your score. It is stupid, I agree, but that is how it works.

That's nuts.
I get the idea of the account closing, etc. But Jesus. Its a car loan, they should be able to close it with an "atta boy" for being early. ****ing tanking my credit score for working ahead is the dumbest shit.

They dont want you to close it early, they want every cent of interest from you. Being responsible costs the lender money.

Credit scores aren't just a barometer of how well you pay back debt. They are also an indicator of how profitable of a borrower you are. Banks lose interest income when you pay off loans early.

I'm not a credit score expert by any means, but I always kind of thought of it this way:
-- WE think the score should reflect how credit-worthy a person is. Are they a reliable payer? Do they satisfy their obligations? Can they manage money well? -- the credit score industry is actually set up to tell banks if you are a GOOD BORROWER, which means that you won't default on the loan, are a good credit risk, and -- importantly to them -- THEY MAKE EVERY ****ING DIME THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE OFF YOUR ASS. So you close an account early, that's BAD, because the BANK DIDN'T GET ALL THOSE EXTRA MONTHS OF INTEREST PAYMENTS. Now, I may be completely off base here, but that is how I **think** ti works, kinda sorta. Can someone enlighten us on whether I'm anywhere close to right?
