Unfortunately for me, I think this will adversely impact my score and AAoA. It's a 24 month old account so not sure but I really don't want another TL so may look into having Cap1 delete the BB account.

Why if your curent BB/CapOne card has a balance and closes with a balance are you in trouble??


No, purchased by another lenders eliminates the balance to N/A or some other status.

My mom had a balance of $200 ish on her Cap1/BBY account and if see the pic of her report on my first post you'll see the Recent Balance  says NA which means Cap1 didn't report any balance....

My AAoA is around 1 year and the best buy account is about 18 months. So, this will actually be a good thing for me assuming they date back to the original opening date.

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden.     Age:23

My mom was checking her EXP report today and found out her Cap 1/Best buy appears as closed . It also says that the account was purchased by another lender.

 

 

I never thought they were going to close that Cap1/BBY tradeline. I thought that account was going to remain the same and that they were only  going to change the lender's name. I guess another tradeline will pop up on her report (s) in the coming days (her account its active, same limit)  

 

 


The same thing happened to me with Fingerhut when they went from metabank to webbank.

Same here, reports closed. I have had the account since 2007 so if Citi reports a new TL with that date it may not help my AAoA since my current AAoA is over 7 years.

Am I the only one seeing this as a win? A.it will continue to report in a positive manner for ten years, someone correct me if I'm wrong on that? B. The New reporting for Citi will be the same duration as it was, I'd the song of a new tradeline that's as old as the existing one really that bad?

Yeah the account will continue to report for the next ten years. Some people just opened their accounts with Cap1/Best Buy and  when they get the new Citi  tradeline (even backdated) it'll affect  their AAoA. For example my mom's AAoA is 5.5 years. her Best buy account is only 11 months so when she get the new tradeline (with another 11 moths old) this will drop her AAoA a bit. Other people on the other hand, whose account are older than their current AAoA will benefit from this new account that is going to report soon
