Score dropped 3 points

Creditor removed account included in chapter 13 bankruptcy. This already had a zero balance. Anyone know why? It is one less trade line included in bankruptcy. Why would the score drop 3 points is the question?

I would say that perhaps your age of accounts were impacted by the account removal?

Re: Score dropped 3 points

I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that any trade line included in bankruptcy does not get calculated in the history age. This is still an active, open, chapter 13.

You may be right, as I know little to nothing about BKs.  I'm sure someone else will stop in here and set things straight.
