My wife's score on CW dropped from 789 to 774 today. There was no change in utilization, inquiries, etc. The number one reason score wasn't higher changed from "balances to high" to "account history to new." There was a big change in number of accounts--50 to 35--and I'm not quite sure what would have caused it. Lots of older student loan accounts and sevearal good older CC tradelines fell off. Here are the two sets of data, with possibly identifying account numbers removed: ________ ------Your credit history from Equifax as of September 19, 2002.

I'm thinking there don't seem to be any that are deleted that haven't undergone a name change, buyout, or something similar... Seems strange that they would all come off at once like this...? Any ideas of what to make of all this?
Wanna trade scores? I wouldn't worry too much about it, some old positive accounts aged off, no big deal.
I'd be willing to bet EQ split her file. Why don't you give them a call and ask? She probably has a 2nd file with all of the other TLs. DemPooches
