My AU status is still showing on accounts on the reports I pulled through MyFico 10/9/2007. From my scores, it appears that they are still being used in the scoring.
I haven't seen any articles or notifications that spell out what we can expect to see (or not see) on our credit reports after the AU accounts are no longer factored into the FICO scores.
It will definitely be confusing if the accounts still appear on the reports, but their age, CL and payment history is not being included in the scores. I hope they make a provision for this so we can better tell which accounts are being scored and which are not.
I'm reviewing old, inactive accounts to determine if we need to try to reactivate them and change me to a joint user, or just leave everything alone and take the hit when they are no longer factored in.
I would like to think that someone (either the CRAs or the CCCs should send us notices about exactly what to expect, if and when this is implemented.)
