TL Removal?

I recently added two TL( Overstock 3k & HSN 2750k) , I do not need these TL. Question: Can I have these deleted from CB's if I Close accounts or will they always be seen?

Also, will my AAoA increase again after I close them?

If you close them, they'll appear on your CRs for ~10 years, at which point they'll age off.   GW efforts to ask for a complete removal of TLs like these ones are very rarely successful, and that would probably be your only option.    I'd recommend just leaving them open and throwing them in the SD.

Re: TLs Removal?

Either a literal sock drawer or shredder up to you.

 

SD is a drawer or box (as is my case a small wooden box that I store all my cards in) that you may access the account on occasion to keep the trade line active. If you don't care if it closes you can shred them and nature will eventually take its course.

 

Good luck!

+1.  SD stands for "sock drawer"...this just means you don't actively use those cards.   Some members put occasional use on the cards to prevent account closure (a small purchase every few months).   However, some don't place any activity on the cards and let them eventually close for inactivity.

Out of curiosity, if you didn't need them why did you apply for them?
