Should I pay a credit card or car loan?
I have a 14,000 inheritance- I am trying to improve my fico. Should I pay off a 14,000 credit card or a 7,000 car loan and put the rest towards the credit card?

Pay off the credit card. Part of determining your FICO score is to look at how much credit you are using. For example if you are approved for $10,000 on a credit card and your balance is $6,000, then you are using 60% of your available credit. The higher percentage, the lower your credit score. The car loan is different as there is no available credit, you can't access additional credit on that loan. Besides, i'm sure the interest is way higher on the credit card.

i would pay off the loan and put the rest towards the card

Determine which one has the highest interest. If there's not much difference, pay off the loan first so that you don't have to worry about it.

Which one has the higher interest rate? Pay the higher interest rate one first.


delmoki
Pay off whichever one has the higher interest rate. This will save you the most money. As for the FICO score, if both accounts are in good standing, it shouldn't make a difference which one is paid off first. Lowering your overall debt will raise your FICO score, and you will be doing just that.


Bethany
First figure out which has the highest interest rate and pay that one off first. If its the car loan then take the remaining $7,000 and pay off what you can of the credit card.

i would use 7,000 for the credit card and use the other 7,000 for the car loan.

i would pay off the car and put rest towards the credit card, then use the money you were putting toward the car payment toward the credit card per month until you pay it off.
