    I have been advised to close out on of my store/retail cards. I will be closing American Eagle, but the account has only been open since 8/00. What do creditors think when they see an account open for only 3 or 4 months then closed? How about FICO?

    no big deal to your score. Just close that one. Everyone has that option. just make sure you state to AE that the account should report closed by consumer.
