    Does installment debt affect FICO scores differently than revolving credit? I found that payment of about $700 in credit card debt will get me an additional FICO point. Payment of $6,000 in installment debt got me only one FICO point.

    Which debt is older? The credit card debt or the installment debt.

    What were your total balances on the two debts before the payments? And your total revolving debt?

    Credit card debt is less than two years old. Installment just over two years.

    Total installment debt was $26,000; now is $20,000. Total credit card debt was $63,000; now about $62,300.
