Have we got a place that you have to check out. Not even sure how to describe it, but when you go make sure you have your walking shoes on. In Fort Lawn, SC just 30 minutes from Charlotte, NC and 20 minutes from Rock Hill, SC you will find "WOW". Two of the previous manufacturing facilities owned and operated by Springs Industries are now home to a furniture and rug superstore in one plant and home accessories in the other plant. In the old Elliott Plant you will find items such as lamps, dishes, Christmas ornaments, candles, outdoor furniture, odd and end pieces, mirrors, home decor and so much more. In what use to be the Frances Plant you will find furniture, rugs, mattresses and deals that are truly unbelievable. We kept hearing about WOW and there is no way to describe it other than "wow". Make the drive to Fort Lawn and check out both of these locations. They are open 7 days a week and it is so worth the drive.

What a treat we experienced tonight. We attended the fall concert of the Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble and what a tremendous group of talented individuals who will blow you away with their skill and passion for music. The music selections were great and really showcased all of the musicians that made up the jazz ensemble. It was evident that every musician in the group has a love for music and they enjoy the whole jazz experience. The recital hall was packed and it was great to see so many students from the Northwestern Marching Band in attendance. York County should be proud of the number of students from our area performing in this ensemble. The concert was free and the caliber and quality of music performed tonight was absolutely incredible. We can't wait for the spring concert. Watch for the dates in March when Northwestern High School will host a day of jazz discovery and the featured performers during this day will include the Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble. We have heard so much about the tremendous music program at Winthrop and it was special to attend such a remarkable performance. Hats off to all the performers tonight because you all were fantastic! Just another reason we enjoy living in Rock Hill.
A very important part of your credit education is staying on top of credit facts in the news. This week we will take a look at things that are happening right now that affect your total financial future.
According to Nurido News, There are a lot of myths about the credit score. Many people tend to think that some credit activities can lower their credit score. Here are a few facts about your credit score.
Checking your credit report does not deteriorate your credit score: Checking your own credit report goes down in the credit report as a soft inquiry and hence does not affect your credit score. However if a lender or a credit card company checks your credit report, it goes down as a hard inquiry and may cost you five points. But another important fact to be kept in mind is that all the inquiries in a 14-day period are considered as a single inquiry. The credit score rating system also does not take into consideration all the inquiries made within a period of 30 days before the day the credit score is to be computed.
Closing old accounts does not improve your credit score: Many lenders might tell you to close old accounts that are not in use. But doing this simply robs you of a long credit history and more percentage of your total credit limit is used up if you close your account.
Your FICO score is all you need: All the three major credit bureaus give you a FICO credit score rating formula. So your FICO score says all about your credit score and you don't need to bother to look for something else to calculate your credit score. Using the FICO Credit Score Rating System, the credit bureaus give you a credit score. However the names for these credit scores are different at these bureaus. At Equifax, they call it Beacon credit score. At TransUnion, they call it Empirica. At Experian, it is called Experian/Fair, Isaac Risk Model.
The reason that you get different credit scores from all the bureaus is that reports of some credit activities performed by you is sent to one bureau and some to other. But more or less your credit score is the same.
Credit counseling does not hurt your score: The FICO credit score rating system does not take into consideration any reference to credit counseling in your report. In fact if you are facing troubles managing your finances then you can try credit counseling. It does not go down as a negative in a credit report.
The perfect way to improve your credit score is of course the simplest of them all - pay your bills on time. Rid yourself of credit score myths and start your credit improvement stint as soon as possible.
