Question
How long do student loans stay open once they have been paid off?
How long do student loans stay open once they have been paid off? They are still listed as "open" even though they were paid in full at least 5 years ago. Is the fact that they are still open hurting my credit score?

If it shows a good payment history, and no outstanding balance, then you want probably want to leave them alone. Closing good accounts can make your score go down. The entire purpose of having a credit score is to show that you can pay back money loaned to you, and the more good credit history the better.
