Recently I was asked an interesting question: Should lines of credit be closed once they’re paid off?
In general, no. If you’re searching for a home, this is especially important. One of the main ways lenders will judge your status will be by looking at your credit ratio.

For example, if you’ve got a debt of $2,500 on an account with a $5,000 credit limit, your ratio is 50%. Even if you were to pay this amount off, the $5,000 credit would still be recorded so long as the account remained open. This will make your ratio look better than if you were to close down the account. One of the main ways lenders will judge your status will be by looking at your credit ratio.
