I found a nugget I want to ask about. AAoRA. On my TU4 score reasons it is listed...
First Question... Is this OPEN Revolving Accounts or does it Average in Closed Accounts as well.
In combing through TU account I found a duplicate Chase Card account that is not "real" it was opened on the same day as my Current card and then closed a day after. Surely that skews my Average age. I called Chase and they said dispute it and it will be deleted, but it didnt count in average. Is it worth a point bump to dispute it and get it removed to increase my averages? Or truly insignificant because it is closed. Set to pull credit in 30 days, so the dispute process would run close to time.
Closed accounts - even those only open for a single day - still factor into your average age and continue to age for as long as they remain on your reports. Have you done the math of what your AAoRA and AAoA would be with and without this account?

Doing math now..
How do I calculate the one day account? Is that considered 1 month?
If an account is opened Middle of month..is that counted as an entire month?

WAAAIIITTT A MINUTE????
if they continue to age.. Then even it was open for a day and close 03/2017...then that means it's still aging?? 3 years and counting?

It starts at 0. So of it was opened on Dec 15, it turned 1 month old on Jan 1. Then 2 months Feb 1, and so on. They age on the first of the month.
If these things age regardless. Then it appears I lose .06 in time by removing the duplicate. May leave it be huh?

Yes. Let it be.
If it's on your report, it's being factored into your age of accounts. If keeping the account on your report would positively impact your age of accounts, I'd allow it to stay. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to pull a copy of your real TU report to verify that it's there twice, as on occasion reports you see from a CMS can show something different.

I pulled from Annual Credit and from the actual TU website. Do you concur that although it was opened and closed the next day in 2017... it is still ageing and factoring into my AAoRA?
