Lost or Stolen Card

Its neither good or bad, just neutral w/ no effect on your credit score - and it will show in a seperate place on your credit report, not in the same area as your current active accounts.

 

I don't know, but I don't like the "lost" card remark I have.

About duplicate tradelines: it happened to me, and it showed as 2 tradelines as well, actually it is only one, the equifax people would not delete/change/update it. I had to call the bank and waited till they sent them the accurate info.

Problem is now: the bank issued me this card in 1999 , now shows as October 2000, 11 months later! This is my oldest credit card, close to 2 years now, but it shows as a 11 moths credit card. I had and I have only one card with them (Fleet) and they changed account numbers and credit card numbers and this way it showed as 2 different tradelines (cl: the one I had then). I couldn't combine them, the bank rep told me it was a closed account, but reporting as an open account. They changed it and the old card shows as a closed account as of today.

Well you know, the longer accounts have been open the better. . Too many open accounts is not good. And opening new accounts and closing old accounts is bad especially when your credit history isn't very long......
@!!!!!

 

Have you tried PFB?? I had the same thing happen - it was the Egghead incident also - but ,u CCC put the original issue date on the new card. So, it can be done.

 

Like I say The reports are rigged thus they always present a distorted picture.

 

If a person looks at LOST/STOLEN...

THEY ARE GOING TO ASSUME YOU LOST THE CARD!!!!

Mine was lost in the mail...THEY REFUSED TO PUT "LOST IN MAIL"...they said they don't have those words available"

I SAID TYPEWRITER WORKS FINE!!!

I TYPED IT TWENTY TIMES FOR THEM..."LOST IN MAIL"...

They eventually got tired of me like DISCOVERCARD...and deleted it...
