I got an alert saying an account was closed on my credit report, but the account is still open and the last activity was just a few months ago. What happened?

This can happen if there is a change in the way the account is reported by the lender or creditor.

For instance, if a bank reports an account number to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÐþ»ú as 12345678 one day, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÐþ»ú credit monitoring will look for that account number the following day.

If the bank changes the way it reports the account number -- if it appears as 01234567, for example -- Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÐþ»ú may send you an alert saying the old account has been closed and a new account has been opened.

Still have questions?
