Trying to figure out the average age of my accounts...

[itzateach]

but what happened to all the mortgage loans, etc, that I took out when I was younger (30 years ago?)....I don't see them on any of these reports...do they drop off after a certain amount of time. Most of my accounts say length of time is GOOD....but the oldest account on all 3 showing is 1992. I bought a home back in 1986 and had all sorts of cards - JC Penneys, Sears, etc??? where are they now?

Accounts closed or paid off in good standing stay on your report for 10 years.

If you pull your myFICO score, the average age of accounts (AAoA) will be reckoned for you, along with whether or not it's helping or hurting your score.

Check out my site for more information on how AAoA is calculated, and what new accounts do for--or to!--your score.
