How will paying for a car loan on a repo car affect my credit score?

MissJessica asked:


My husband and I signed a $20,000 loan on a truck. The payments were behind and the car was in a wreck. The truck was repossessed and the loan company says we still owe $8000. The loan company offered a settlement of $2800 if we pay by the end of the month. Does this sound right to anyone?
How would it really affect my credit if I pay off the loan now?

What are my chances of getting a home loan?

I have a credit score of about 670. I owe about $4500 on my car, and I plan on having it paid off before I try to get this loan. My credit history will go back 2 years when I wish to get this loan. I plan on asking for about $60,000. Any other questions, ask and I’ll be more than happy to answer.
