Stolen Cards

[CostantinoA]

Hello everyone:

Last night someone stole my wife's wallet.  She carries all 26 of our cards with her.  We cancelled all the cards and there were no charges.  This morning, the store called and said they found it in the store.  Looked like someone looked through it and didn't find cash and just tossed behind some displays.  My question is, when the banks issure the new cards, is that going to affect out average age of my accounts?  Are the banks going to close out those accounts and open new ones and that will be reflected as 26 new accounts or how will this play out.  Please let me know.

No, it will be the same account. Just different numbers. No affect at all on AAOA. Please tell your wife that it is never a good idea to carry all of your cards.

Thank you!  It wasn't her fault.  It was mine. I told her to carry them all. I have since changed that lol.  She had zero credit when I met her.  Blank reports.  Not even a inquiry.  She lets me handle all stuff related to credit.  She told me...you have my social and information.  Do what you need to do. Her score is pushing 700 in the two years I have been working on it for her.
