<prompt> Human: I am a college aged student and got my first credit card a little under 2 years ago to start building credit. I got my credit report today and found that there was a second credit account in my name from 2005-2008 I dont know how sensitive this information is, so better safe than sorry. I would have been well under 18 at that time. One of my parents told me they opened it as part of their own credit card. My credit score is great I think because of this but now that I am independent, I want to close this apparently linked account. Is there a way to close this account that wouldnt negatively impact my credit?  <response>: If your credit score is great and you trust your parents financially I say keep it on there. Credit length history is a credit score factor.
