Closing CC with low age increase score?

[vwgrrc]

Does it decrease AAoA immediately? If the total utilization hold below 10%. Does this affect my score? Which direction?

It does nothing to your AAoA... It still counts, even though you closed it

As mentioned proviously it does not affect your AAoA. Regarding the utilization take a look at this thread: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Closing-Credit-Cards/m-p/347190

Isn't this the following util scorecard?

1-9% Excellent
10-29% Good
30-49% Fair
50-74% Poor
75%+ Very Poor

Does your util hold under 10% AFTER the account closure, or was it under 10% until the account was closed?
