There are many reasons why a credit score may not increase after paying off debt:
-
Credit Utilization Rate: Your credit utilization rate is the percentage of your total available credit that you are using. If this rate remains high even after paying off debt, it can keep your score from increasing significantly.

Payment History: Late payments or missed payments negatively impact your credit score and could continue to affect it for several years.
-
Age of accounts: Closing old accounts in good standing reduces the average age of your open accounts, which can lower your credit score.

Credit Inquiries: Applying for new lines of credit results in hard inquiries on your report, which could temporarily decrease one’s overall score.
-
Public Records/Collection Accounts: Having any public records like bankruptcies, tax liens or judgments, as well as collection accounts with late payment history might contribute to prolonged stagnant growth even after paying down some other forms/sources of outstanding amounts owed/due by an individual/entity (borrower).
