How old is your credit history?

[Anonymous]

My oldest account shows on Experian and I still chuckle when I see it.  It was a Fashion Bug account for $100 back in 1996.  They finally closed it when they sold out and it is scheduled to come off my report in 2017.  All of my credit is new (since November).  My AAoA is 2 years with TU and EX but 5 years with EX (not sure of exactl AAoA, just the avg that is showing on my fico scoring)

35 years, 3 months. Sort of. That's what it shows in my reports, but it's from a back dated Amex card. If I go all the way back, it's 40 years. Yes, I'm old.
