Sudden large (and impossible) increase in average credit age. Indicative of fraud?
Good question? Vote for this

Hi there,

As background, I'm only 20. I received my first credit card at 18, plus I've had student loans since I was 16, so my average credit age has been hovering around 2 years 8 months (I've opened up additional cards since my first at 18).

On the 1st, I updated my CK score and was informed I now have an average credit age of 7 years, 10 months. I've checked with family members, and no one has put me as a joint user on their credit card, so...... what should I do?

Assuming I should contact the credit agencies (which is my first instinct), which agency does my CK score/history come from?

In addition, is there someplace I can get Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian scores + histories in one big purchase (not just the free annual report, but the scores as well)? So far, I can only seem to find them sold individually from each bureau.

Thanks.

Try equifax.  They had some $4.95 program.  Intially you received the three scores and three reports for $4.95.  You can cancel after a couple months.
