So many myths surround credit and credit scores, no wonder so many are confused. For this reason I have started this blog for accurate information for everyone to understand their credit, scores and how to bring them up or keep them up. All questions and input welcomed. If you post it make sure its fact not fiction.

Will Closing Old Account Raise My Credit Score?
NO. The Fact is it will probably lower your credit scores. Also, if there were late payments on the account they don't disappear. If you have an old account with good established pay history and credit management you don't want to close it. You want to use it at least every 4-6 months for small purchases. Do NOT wait a year to use it, that will also make your credit scores go down. More tips to come on Managing your Credit Report.
