Re: Understanding how First Premier works...

Ok -- how did you come up with an AAoA of 5 years and 1 month?   

 

Because when you calculate using the accounts you listed, your AAoA is 40 months (3 years, 4 months).   Oldest Account: 10 years 11 months;  Youngest Account: 5 months.   

 

Total Age of Accounts (in months) :  557

Number of Accounts: 14

Average:  557/14 = 39.7 = 40. 

 

Is there something else on your reports that is missing from the list you posted?  

 

EDIT:  I'm not entirely sure if collection accounts are included in your AAoA. Seems to be conflicting info on that point.   If they are not included, then your AAoA would actually be a bit lower at 38 months (3 years, 2 months).

Re: Understanding how First Premier works...

The additional accounts you've listed don't change your AAoA.  Still 3 years, 4 months (assuming collections are factored into AAoA).  So I don't know where the 5 year, 1 month AAoA came from -- was that, perhaps, calculated prior to the accounts opened in 2017 - 2018? Because if we remove those accounts, you get a 5 year AAoA.   

 

Anyway,  with this AAoA of 3.4 years, if you were to add a new account in Januray, your new AAoA would be 3.2 years.  

IF collections are not included in AAoA,  your current AAoA would be 3.2 years and adding a new account this month would drop it to 2.11 years -- crossing the 3 year threshold will result in a loss of points -- most of which could be regained the following month when your AAoA crosses back over the 3 year mark. 

 

I'm inclined to believe collections are not included in AAoA -- so I would suggest waiting 2-3 months to app for a new account.  This way, your AAoA will remain a month or two above 3 years which will minimize the number of points loss for adding a new account. 

 

Also - have all of those collection accounts been paid?  If not, then you shouldn't app for anything.  Either get them paid (settle, pay in full, try a PFD) or wait for the older ones to fall off your reports.   Midland Funding has a public policy of deleting a paid collection as long as it's at least 2 years past the date of first delinquency -- so that one is easy to take care of.  You should research the others to see others' experiences to help figure out the best way to proceed.   Was Jefferson Cap from the First Premier charge-off? Is so, they may delete now that it's paid.

Re: Understanding how First Premier works...

Jefferson is seperate and was depeted from report. Cedar got deleted to but not from Experian as I tried. Midland is in the works right now. First P only shows as PF. I have submitted a PinF letter( all of them already told me they dont PFD letters ) to all except FP.

I think Midland got deleted with Exp, not TU, waiting on Eq with Midland. TU only updated the balance as PinF. Cedar got removed from two except Experian. Jefferson got removed all.

Re: Understanding how First Premier works...

I did get a +17 raise on Fico 8 this morning from my debt amount decreasing which is mainly or all on my bofa cash rewards. The debt the app is getting or maybe I should be using another word is coming from bofa account, not the car loan or personal loan I have open right now
