    Continue to make on-time payments. This wil improve your score better than paying off the remaining balance.

    Don’t pay in full! Pay time in installments so that creditors can see that you pay your bills on time and that you are consistent. It will also improve your credit score.

    By paying off the small one it may give you a little boost since you have that much additional money on a monthly basis to put towards your other debts and other expenses. For me, I paid off my smallest student loan as quick as possible, within four years of graduating so that I could free up more monthly income to tackle other expenses including credit card debt.

    Considering you still have the large one, ignore the people that say you need to keep both. You only need one monthly reoccurring payment to show that you can handle monthly payments.

    Credit score will be measured over a period of time, by checking your ability to pay a certain amount of agreed loan. Therefore it is better not to pay in full if you are considering credit score than the interest rate…
