Yes, it is very advisable to pay off your car loan with the lender you have borrowed from. This is because if you have an unsettled car loan or any other loan, it will cause your credit score to reduce very drastically. All banks will report your repayment process to the Credit Bureaus and if you fail to repay your car loan (or any other loan for that matter), it will be reported to the Credit Bureaus and this will reflect on your credit score negatively and showed in your credit history as a black mark. So, in the future, if you are looking to borrow again due to a financial emergency, the chances of getting the loan rejected will be very high as the lenders will begin to look at you as a risky customer.
