I have a question about the impact of refinancing on a credit report. I have an auto loan at this time in good standing. The interest rate is high and my mother co-signed for me because of my poor credit history.

As the monthly payments are high, I was looking into refinancing. I applied for refinancing with another bank and was approved (no co-signer) with a lower interest rate.

Now, my question is...does this help or hurt my credit? I would like to accept the refinance offer, but do not want to damage my credit that I have worked so hard to repair.

I wouldnt think it would hurt your credit. A lower interest rate sounds good. It sounds like to me you have improved that credit or they never would have offered the loan to you. Kyside38
