How do you find out when an account on your credit report was closed?

Each entry on your credit report that reports financial activity is called a "tradeline". If an account was closed, charged off or paid off, it will have a statement under the tradeline to that effect. A word to the wise...never close an open tradeline - even if you are not using it. When you close a tradeline your credit score will drop to some degree.
