It only really happens if it drops the average age of your open accounts.

It can boost your credit worthiness as it reduces your LTI ratio - however, the net effect of it dropping a credit score - objectively, is silly to me for a lot of reasons.

I don't get this. I paid off my truck note last August(32 months into a 60 month note) and my credit score went up 30 points. Why in the hell would it go down?
