Your second option is 2 options. You dont need to default, just never finish paying it off.
Maybe you could just keep refinancing over and over until you're making 0.01 payments a month on 100 loans. And have a max credit score.
Real-life min/max'ing right here
The terms of a loan boil down to "we'll give you x, pay it back plus interest in y amount of time". How do you stretch something with a legally binding predetermined end out indefinitely without hurting your score or financial wellbeing?
Take out a personal loan for the balance?
Isn't that just kind of burning money at that point, i.e. harming your financial wellbeing? Also, aren't personal loans seen as "bad" for credit score purposes? I had to take one out a few years back and my score dropped like 45 points within the week
