If you're paying interest on it, pay it off.
If you want your credit files to look better, pay it off.
If neither of the above apply, you may as well leave it.3 -

If your paying interest on it - over 3 k that would amount to much more than £20. Work it out based on the interest you have already paid then I would seriously think about paying it off if you have the means too0
