The first (closed) line opened 8/2011,  was closed 5/2012 by BofA, and still reporting (closed, reported lost/stolen)

The new line was opened 5/12 but backdated to 8/2011 when I opened the first one.

I know I am not the only BofA consumer this has happened to, they closed the account due to security issues on their end - not reported lost/stolen by me.

Just wondering if I should ask them to remove the old one, since both trades are reported as opened the same date. I am getting some conflicting answers as to whether or not this trade line is affecting my credit profile, and now I am confused
