Re: Red Flag

Yes, this red flag appears with 30+ accounts, both open and closed, but it appears to be meaningless in terms of points off scores. These days, just student loans alone could be almost half this amount (8 semesters of undergrad plus 6 semesters or more of grad school, each with a separate student loan.)

Don't worry about it, and especially don't start closing accounts or trying to get them deleted.

Re: Red Flag

The red flag indicates the CRA would love to save some money on storing all your account information Smiley Very Happy

 

Seriously, it's not going to keep you out of the 800 club on it own
