Yes, it was a CK update. I will have to check my Experian to verify.
Checked Experian, the account is gone!

Sounds as if the OP's account was in good standing when it was closed. I was under the assumption that if a lender can GW delete baddies from a CR, can't they delete a entire account including history from any bureau? From the OP, as Premier seemed a little miffed because the acct was closed, maybe they just deleted the entire acct along with the history? Just my guess.

Hmm. Well I would think it would reappear before too long. Does it dramatically affect your AAoA?

Yes. from http://www.bankrate.com/finance/credit-cards/closing-credit-card-dings-credit-score-2.aspx
The bureaus will automatically remove (a closed account) in 10 years, but that could be removed sooner if that credit card issuer decides to remove it. Once it's closed and paid off, that account then becomes inactive, and it's not uncommon for the credit card issuer after a few years or even sooner to just delete that completely, just purge it from their records.

kinda defeats the purpose of showing good history doesn't it if they really did delete it? I would think it wouldn't be worth there time to honestly do this out of spite or wahtever you wanna call it... You can call them and ask for them to re-report it if you would like if it is truely gone...

CK now includes a CR function (showing your TU CR) and that does show closed accounts. So see if iti is there if you are using CK.
Yes you can see your closed accounts. But it is not vouched in the scoring on ck. I closed a 1 year account. Lost 100 points on ck. from 768. To 668. I said what. But my fico did not change a bit. Real tu fico. 703.

Hi there.
This is a wide spread misconception. Closing a credit card account will have no immediate impact on your AAoA.
