As I mentioned on another thread, I have a lot of accounts with same company. I'd get one, keep a few months and pay off, thinking this was helping my credit. However, my oldest account is 6 years. But my average is 1 yr because of the # of accounts. So, if I sent this place a GW and asked them to stop reporting on some of the loans, my average age would rise.
My question is which would do me more harm to my credit score: Having a low average age of accounts(leaving things as is) or removing some good accounts to raise my average age of accounts?
