new accounts opened

Hi.  When I pulled my Equifax report, it said that I had too many newly opened accounts.  Do you know how long those accounts need to age before they are not considered new anymore?

FICO seems to like them to be at least a year old
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

Thanks.  A lot of my new credit will be a year old in May.  Do you think I will see a bump in my score that early?

Re: new accounts opened

If all of your accounts get to be over a year, and all your inqs age to over a year, I would expect a little bump after all have them have reported the 12th statement, all other things being equal

Re: new accounts opened

Thanks for the thread.  I was thinking 6 months where it lessens and then a year for even more improvement.  So it's one year before you see a boost due to aging?
