When to close HSBC/CapitalOne?

I recently got a few nice prime cards from USAA World MC 9K, Discover 6K, Chase MWR MC 3K, and a CLI with Chase Star Card from $500 to 5K. I had a charge off with CapitalOne 4yrs ago and its not reporting on my CR any longer after a PFD but with HSBC switching to CapitalOne I dont want that old CO to come back to bite in the behind so any advice will be helpful. BTW all new card should hit my CR around the 20th of this month.
