This is a great resource book. Creditors do not harrass me anymore. I really feel empowered after reading this. No I can not earse my credit, but if I had read this book before messing up my credit, I would have been a lot better off.

I was very happy to happen upon this book while searching the Amaozon site. I've found the tone fun and sassy...which is just what you need when approaching the all too "depressing" subject of credit. Her description of the Fair Issac credit scoring system was very helpful. Following the book's instructions I have successfully removed a negative item from my credit report. If you're looking for a comprehensive book on credit I would recommend this one.
