Does anyone have experience on this?

I have a DTE utility on my credit report for close to 4 yrs that was from my budgeted acct. It shows NO lates/ paid as agreed, but I did close the account when my fiancé and I merged our homes.

Is this a good, bad or indifferent effect on my FICO score?

Question. I have a DTE

I have a DTE utility on my credit report for close to 4 yrs that was from my budgeted acct. It shows NO lates/ paid as agreed, but I did close the account when my fiancé and I merged our homes.

Is this a good, bad or indifferent effect on my FICO score?

So basically it is no big deal one way or another to lenders?

I was concerned because it said account closed at the request of the account holder.

Nope.. no negative there.  Just means you were done with them and closed them out.
