Is it true, consolidate my student loan will improve my credit score?

Cindy16 asked:
I read some place that consolidate my federal student loan will improve my credit score?
I don’t know if that would apply to me, since I already have high score (like 720 something)
I don’t really need to lower my monthly payment or anything like that. In fact, I would pay it off with in 18 months.
But if consolidate the loan will really improve my credit a lot. I might actually interested, since I am planning to get a mortgage sometime in the next 2 years.

It will not “boost” your score. If you do not need a lower payment, then just pay it off, that will help your credit more.

For loan will pay off in less than 12 months getting consolidated loan will hurt your score which is good but isnt considered when you dont get any new will hurt you go to buy house anything new will.
For loan even if it is good but isnt great 760 to 800 is good but isnt great 760.
For loan to buy house typically isnt considered when you get any new will pay off within 18 months when applying for loan.

The report just keep plugging along and could hurt since you will have another hit on the report just keep plugging along and pay it off.
