Re: Old credit

Hello and welcome to the forums.

 

You say you have an old credit, that's 7 to 10 years old that's paid as agreed?  I can't imagine that factoring negatively against your credit.  It's adding AAoA and a positive TL to your CR.  You want those old accounts on there.  I have a paid Auto loan that was paid off 14 years ago.  No way would I want that off mine.

Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

What other factors do you have that you think may be hurting your score....what are your current score, how many TLs do you have, do you have any baddies, and welcome to the forums by the way.
