Good Credit Question?

How long is good credit suppose to stay on your CR?

 

The reason I'm asking is because I have an old store CC that has been closed and it is only showing on my experian report.

Re: Good Credit Question?

Typically 10 years from the date of closure. Nothing prevents the CRA(s) from deleting earlier though. I personally had an account report longer than the 10 years, but that was a good thing.

Re: Good Credit Question?

How can I get it placed into EQ & TU?

You probably can't. If you wanted to risk it, contact the OC and ask if they can, but there's a very high probability they'll end up deleting off EX too.

Re: Good Credit Question?

I have an account that has been closed for 18 years still reporting on TU but not on the others.  I definitely am not going to say anything.  Hopefully they will continue to report it on that one at least.
