Closed accounts aren't deleted from your credit bureau till 6 years has passed. All it will show is that the balance is nil and the DLA (date of last activity) will show what month/yr, you had a nil balance on your statement. If you close all your old credit cards and keep your new ones, that might not be good either because the age of your credit cards are part of your score. it's best to keep and maintain your old credit cards and get rid of any unused new credit cards.
Things to think about re:credit score is: maintaining good long established credit history, making sure your balances are low and not using more than 30% of your line of credit, and reducing the number of credit cards you have. My suggestion is to have 2 credit cards (one visa and one m/c) and maybe 1 extra card for emergencies only (make sure you use the emergency credit card every 6 months so it not considered inactive). This will help, so you don't have so many bills and you keep track of your purchases. And lastly, pay your bills in full and on time so that you're not charged the daily interest.

How do collection accounts affect your credit score?

How do you get accounts that have been closed for a long time removed from your credit report?
You get closed accounts removed from your credit report in the same manner as any other information. You write a letter of dispute to the creditor, or credit bureau, or both. The question is; why do you want closed accounts removed from your credit? If these accounts were paid as agreed, their appearance on your credit report is still offsetting any other information that appears there. I have clients with closed, 6-10 year old, accounts and active derogatory accounts that still have viable credit scores. Were they to challenge and have removed the closed accounts, they would have no score at all, which can be worse than having a low score. Keep in mind that your credit report, and the resulting credit score, is a history of how you have paid your bills in the last 7 to 10 years. You do not necessarily want that history to be empty.

Can you have accounts that have been closed for 2 to 4 years removed from your credit report?
If your question pertains to closed, positive, accounts; you do not want tyis type of account removed (or more accurately, shielded from view) on your credit file. Old positive accounts still show past payment history. If these accounts were open, they would be aiding your credit score by lengthening the time you have had open credit. But, even when closed, they show past credit history. This is good thing, and not something want removed. If your question pertains to accounts with derogatory information; those items may legally show on your credit for 7 years from the date of last activity. After 2 to 4 years, you can write a letter of dispute to the credit bureaus. If the accounts are not verified within 30 days, they must be shielded. If verified, they will not only remain on your credit report, but also get updated. This won't change the length of time they show on your report, but MAY effect how much they impact your score.
