Short Credit History

One of the negative indicators listed on my credit reports is that I have a short credit history.  12 years, 9 months.  I'm 31 y/o.  Couldn't really have a longer credit history at this point in my  life.  lol.  Just tought it was a little funny that as long as I've been allowed to have credit, I have had credit. Oh the joy if the credit game!

Re: Short Credit History

I am a lot older than you and my reports also state that I have a short credit history.  My oldest line of credit is 19 yrs.  My aaoa just turned 7 yrs, and I having nothing showing under a yr and a half in age.  You just have to grin and bear it.  Smiley Happy

Playing the credit game is a major pain in the butt.
