<prompt> Human: I have a credit card that is 7 years old, my next oldest credit account is 2 years old, so this is the oldest one by far. Well my credit card company decided to close it without notice due to inactivity ive switched to better cards now but kept this one open because of the age. Can I re-open that same account with the credit card company and will it go back to the original age? I know this will be a hit on my credit score for the inquiry but wondering if it makes more sense to do this so I get that old age. But I also want to make sure I get the old date back rather than this being opened as a new card. Any help or recommendations are appreciated!  <response>: Only your credit card company can answer this question.
