Average Age of Accounts

[Anonymous]

I see a lot of posts about making sure that deleting a TL won't lower the average age of accounts.  Where do you find out what your average age is?  I have looked all over my CRs and cannot find this information.  I looked on my reports that I got from myFico and also the reports that I got from each CRA.  All I see is the length of credit history.  Can someone please point me in the right direction.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look on page #2, Understanding Your Score, on your FICO reports (EQ and TU only)

Thanks for your response Fused.  This is what I have under Understanding Your FICO Score.

What's hurting: 

1.  27 accounts 60 days late or worse

2.  Public Records - 1

3.  Collections - 8

4.  Recent Missed Payment - 1 Month

5.  Number of accounts with missed payments - 27

6.  Most recent public record - 4 years 6 months

7.  Most recent collection - 10 months

What's helping:

1.  NOTHING (LOL........Well, not really but it is better to laugh than cry).

It isn't on every report. YMMV. When we started to track DW's FICO reports, avg. age wasn't listed. However, when she added 6 new CC accts in a 2 mo. period of time, it was added in a hurry.

You can do it manually by using the open date listed on each account, open or closed, excluding CAs.

Thanks.  Looks like I will have to do it manually.  Good thing I am good with math.  Lol.
