What this means for you
Moving and changing jobs can leave a trail on your credit reports: old addresses, accounts sent to collections after a final bill went to the wrong place, or mixed-up files.
- Update your information. Old addresses and name variations can cause mixed files.
- Final-bill collections. Utility and apartment bills from a previous home are a common source of collections, and of errors.
- You can dispute for free. We do the work and follow up for you.

Seasonal income or new to Myrtle Beach? Build credit lenders trust.
Horry County has grown by more than 20% since 2020, and many residents work in tourism and hospitality. Credit doesn’t measure income, but uneven paychecks can lead to missed payments and high balances in the off-season. Here’s how to stay ahead.
Four habits that protect your credit year-round
1. Automate minimum payments
Set autopay for at least the minimum on every account, so a slow month never turns into a late payment.
2. Watch off-season balances
Try to keep card balances well below your limits. Utilization is one of the biggest scoring factors.
3. Clean up after a move
Check your reports for old addresses, final bills and accounts that aren’t yours.
4. Add positive history
Rent reporting, a secured card or a credit-builder loan can strengthen a thin or rebuilding file.
Thinking about buying? Lenders will look at your credit and, separately, at your income history, which matters for seasonal and self-employed workers. SC Housing also offers down payment assistance for eligible buyers through participating lenders.
