Closing a Paid-Off Credit Card Can Lower Your Score – Pay Down Other Balances First
A zero balance doesn’t protect your credit score when you close a credit card and carry balances on your other cards. Its limit stops counting toward your available credit, so those balances take up a bigger share of it. Pay them down first, and if you’re applying for a big loan soon, wait until it’s final.
