<prompt> Human: My loans due dates have been pushed back to a few years from now because I have been paying them off quickly. Would it be wise to just leave about 10 on each of them and pay off accrued interest so that my credit history would be lengthened and improved?  <response>: Should I leave a low amount remaining on my student loans instead of paying them off completely to positively affect my credit?No. Just pay them off. You should not pay a cent more than you have to in order to improve your credit score, which you can do in other ways besides stretching out loan payments.
