<prompt> Human: My bank, BoA, closed and sent me a new credit card because apparently they had a security breach and wanted to send a new card to be safe. I checked my credit report and now it says the card that got closed, not by my choice, counts towards the closed account which brings down my average accounts length. Why am I being penalized for something my bank did? Can I fix this somehow?Thanks!Assistant: OP, brp was mistaken in his answer because he assumed you were talking about concerns regarding security. I would suggest you contact the credit reporting firm and inform them that while the same account exists, the account number may have changed because of this security concern by BoA. That way, they wont assume you simply opened a new account.Human: Thank you very much. Ill give them call.  <response>: You may want documents from BoA to prove the changes it initiates on your account.
