This is really something you would need to talk to a credit specialist about. It depends on what you are wanting to accomplish. If all you are doing is taking cash out of a bank account and paying off your mortgage loan, it would likely not impact your credit in a negative way, but the scope of your credit comes into play, and it's impossible to give an accurate answer to that without knowing more about your current credit situation.I'm a direct lender in California.

Pulling a credit report and paying off your mortgage with a refi will typically not lower your score. If you do a cash out refi and pay off other debt it will actually raise your score
Paying off your mortgage should actually help your scores since you will be paying off your biggest debt.
Do you mean refinancing.... or paying off the balance with a lump sum payment?
Your score should not drop by paying off mortgage, should actually go up.
My initial understanding of your question does not imply you are obtaining another mortgage in place of the lien being paid off. If that is correct, I would prefer to direct you to a credit counseling specialist that can work with you on the best solutions to meet your credit goals. A reputable company I have referred my own clients is www.ecreditadvisor.com. Or email Patrick Dixon at pdixon@ecreditadvisor.com. The evaluation is free and you can make the best decision for you.If you are however looking to refinance, by all means, feel free to contact me and we can discuss options. jbodway@acceptancecapital.com
Ditto on William's response. You should be all good with your score!
