This could be a problem. If the accounts are a few years old (called %26quot;seasoned accounts%26quot;) and you close them, this could make your FICO drop significantly, as a good portion of your score is based on account longevity. If these accounts are not charging you annual fees, and is not costing you anything to keep open, I would, especially if they are in good standing.
