Length of Credit History?

[Anonymous]

It is saying that my length of credit history is bad, I'm going to assume this is due to my BK in 05.  Yet how long does it take before it will be considered good again?  I got my first CC 4/07, and I have an auto loan 2/07 that is a joint account with my wife.  I swore of CC when I claimed my BK because that is what got my young dumb butt in trouble the first time.  That is why I never tried getting another one until my wife said I need it to build my credit back up, but how long til my credit history is good again?

2 years should do it. Longer is better. But before the message goes to good, I think you need about 6 years. Just ignore the message because there is nothing you can do about it in the long run but wait. Maybe get an AU account to speed things up, but that will be ignored after next year sometime.
