I'm pretty much in the same position. I haven't had a loan payment in
over 20 years (FICO now 800+) and hopefully won't need one again in this
lifetime. For those that will need credit, the extra baggage on the
credit report won't help.
The last credit report I read indicated that my score was not as high as it
could be because I didn't have a mortgage.

??????????

I am like you and JohnH now. Now that I don't need it, I have all kinds of
credit available and I don't use any of it.

But, I also remember that it took me 10 years to pay off a small balance on
a stupid Hechinger's credit card that I had back in the Navy. Every penny
counted for many years.

When we took a home equity loan to prepare our shoreline home for
rental property they told us our credit was good, but would be better
if we had some credit cards so we got a couple and use them here and
there but pay them off as soon as possible...

Last week we had one of them write a letter and they told us our
credit line was going to go down, and our rate up because we screwd up
and were three days late with a payment. We sent a payment in that
nearly closed the account and scared the crap out of them, so they
upped our limit again and kept our low rate right where it was They
were afraid we would pay it off completely and they would have
nothing... little do they know, they are all gettint paid off next
month, save the motorcycle loan which is at a very low rate anyway...

Next time call them tell them that you are tired of them playing games
with depositing your checks late and as soon as your account balance is
zero you are going to close your account. See what they offer.
