Re: Average Age of Accounts?

Yeah I'm dirty as we know with the BK. I wonder when it goes to excellent/exceptional on MyFICO. Maybe someone has it. We'll see. Just funny CK has me as red with AAoA's but a 723 score on TU. LOL!!!!!

Since were on this topic. @SouthJamaica in that other thread where I said we'll figure it out here. Guess its 4 yrs and not 4 yrs 8 months to hit very good with FICO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I wonder what the thresholds are for oldest account/newest account to get very good as well 

Would be nice for MyFico to list newest account age as well in that section

Re: Average Age of Accounts?

@sznthescore @GZG This is odd. You'd think it would be set what is fair, good, very good, ect. Not making sense at all.

Re: Average Age of Accounts?

So I'd point out the fact that all the "interpretation" we see outside of the data, score, and reason codes are fluff and not neccessarily 100% accurate.  

 

This is true regardless of monitoring service; while I think myFICOs is pretty good for it's analysis it's not exact and shouldn't be taken as reference outside of the aforementioned metrics.  CKs analysis, meh.  They just seem to be schilling for credit card referral fees these days seemingly.

 

I still absolutely refresh the data currently to see when my EQ and TU files get updated though, still utterly fantastic for report access at least (CK that is).

This is actually interesting, bc my average age of accounts is 6yrs 6 months, yet it's considered 'good' rather than 'very good.' What's the age of your youngest account? I'm wondering if my accounts that are less than 1yr old are impacting this aspect of the scoring...
