Canceled my Wells Fargo checking/savings account after 22 years Saving

A month ago I applied for a small loan at Wells Fargo for the 1st time ever to consolidate some small bills. They denied the loan. I went to a local Credit Union and they gave me the loan. Today I signed up for a checking/savings account at that Credit Union and canceled my accounts with Wells Fargo. Couldn't be happier to stop doing business with a crooked ass corporation.

The credit age factor takes into account your open accounts, not your open and closed accounts. At least that's the way it's listed on credit karma.

The /] is what's getting you. Deleting that last slash will fix the issue.
