OP, I wouldn't fret about that negative comment. There's nothing that can be done about it. Remember, length of history as part of the +/- things hurting or helping your score has little to do with the length of history listed on the first page of your report. As mentioned, the history on the first page encompasses your overall length, AAoA, the age of your oldest revolving, age of your oldest installment, and other factors. The negative (or positive for some) on the next two pages covers just the overall length and just the AAoA.
Also know that the negatiive comment (on the second page) is based on your credit comparison to others within the same scoring bucket. In other words, you are being directly compared to others with a similar credit profile. Assuming nothing else happens to your credit, and as it ages, you history will eventually slide over as a positive. One day you'll get rebucketed and then that positive comment will return negative once again. I've had this happen to me several times, but with the EXACT same history, my length and AAoA is a negative on one report and a positive on the other. There's nothing you can do about it other than to do your best not to app for anything, unless you need it, and to do your best not to close accounts as they'll eventually drop off after 10 yrs. Certainly protect your oldest.
