I started this thread thinking that I had gotten a 6 point boost on EX and TU because my AAoA had hit 7 years. But when my EQ added 7 points, I had to question that, because the AAoA on that bureau is still short of 7 years.
Then @GZG suggested that perhaps it was my age of youngest account that caused it, and that certainly seems right, because all 3 bureaus just hit 6 months AoYA.
So I think the real conclusion to be drawn is that 6 months age of youngest account is a modest threshold.





























Congrats @SouthJamaica
Congrats dude. Great DP's!
My EQ just went up 7 points. So maybe it was something else.
Man, this can get confusing.

You're a genius @GZG I think you just hit the nail on the head! All 3 bureaus just went to 6 months AoYA (age of youngest account). I'm going to have to correct the title.

had no idea 6 months was even a milestone, thought there was one at 3 and definitely at 12, but no idea between those months ha

Yeah, 12 months gets me 26 points on EX.
And now it seems likely to me that 6 months gets me 6 ![]()





























Great DP! I'll be watching this when mine gets to 6 months and again at 12 months.

It was a very difficult challenge for me to get to 12 months. After joining this forum, it became impossible for me to wait 12 months to apply for something.
