(Or did they already tell me that by saying sold/trasferred)??</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Should I call them and tell them I don't want another account w/ them and to just close it, or do I hope they do open another one for me?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>TIA</P> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:52:36 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/Good-Or-Bad/m-p/1492150#M64979 Booner72 2012-07-14T14:52:36Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/Good-Or-Bad/m-p/1492300#M64980 <P>The account could wind up with someone you may want to do business in the future.&nbsp; I had an old CC (don't remember with who) that wound up being purchased by Chase which gave me an in with them to get the Southwest Visa.</P> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:36:56 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/Good-Or-Bad/m-p/1492300#M64980 marty56 2012-07-14T16:36:56Z
