Closing Accounts?

Posts: 50 Forumite
Hi,
I'm thinking of closing a couple or 3 bank accounts & credit cards to make my finances easier, a couple of the accounts have not been open very long, 3 - 6 months, I opened them with great intentions but it's too much work switching money around.
My question is would it effect my credit rating badly if I was to close them now after only being opened recently?
Thanks in advance. :beer:
