Your maiden name will appear on the credit report as well, as an alias, and all of that history will be there. The advice is to be consistent. For a married woman, the aliases will show up, and all the attendant history. So having one alias, which is obviously your maiden name, shouldn't hurt. It's evident that you haven't been trying to get more credit by using different names. You should be okay with your married name, if that is what you’ve been using lately.

I've also gotten new credit cards with new providers, which seems like a negative - not long-standing accounts. I should note that I did not do a name change with the 3 bureaus and am going to do that now.

But sometimes, the computers won't accept the spacing so I just go with my married name for convenience. I didn't realize that could make a different on my credit score. Thanks!
