  • I strongly believe my experience will save lives. Before working with KENSTAR CYBER SERVICES, my credit score was at 542. I applied for a loan from Metro Credit Union and I was told to pay my debt to Bank of America first which was about $9,600. At that time my credit report wasn’t good with red marks all over it. Also had a couple of charge-off accounts, student loans and judgements. The credit bureaus told me I had about 6 negative items and 8 hard inquiries. I went searching for solution, and fortunately I dabbled into KENSTAR on a housing thread. Initially, I was pessimistic but out of determination and curiosity, I contacted him on +1 (505) 738-7188/ KENSTARCYBERSERVICES@GMAIL.COM. He explained the processes needed to repair my credit. Good news! My FICO now is 782, all negative items on my report have been eliminated, student loans paid off and positive Trade lines added to my credit. I paid nothing to Bank of America to get these awesome results. All these happened in 9 days. It’s really so Amazing.

  • Việc có mặt chè xôi trong lễ cúng không chỉ tạo nên sự tươm tất cho mâm lễ mà còn mang nhiều ý nghĩa tượng trưng và giá trị tâm linh rất quan trọng. Do đó, nhiều gia đình thường dành nhiều thời gian để tự mình chuẩn bị các món chè xôi thật bài bản với sự kết hợp các thành phần nguyên liệu đa dạng. Với việc dâng lên cúng lễ những chè xôi hấp dẫn cùng tất cả lòng thành, giá trị tâm linh đạt được thông qua các buổi lễ như vậy cũng như tăng thêm một bậc. Chia sẻ thêm về buổi lễ trên qua xôi chè một chữ tâm.
